Real-time monitoring of dynamic microvesicles (MVs), vesicles associated with living cells, is of great significance in deeply understanding their origin, transport, and function. However, specific labeling MVs poses a challenge due to the lack of unique biomarkers that differentiate them from other cellular compartments. Here, we present a strategy to selectively label MVs by evaluating a series of lipid layer-sensitive cationic indolium-coumarin fluorescent probes (designated as IC-C, with ranging from 1 to 18) that feature varying aliphatic side chains (CH).

MFN1 (mitofusin 1) and MFN2 are key players in mitochondrial fusion, endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-mitochondria juxtaposition, and macroautophagy/autophagy. However, the mechanisms by which these proteins participate in these processes are poorly understood. Here, we studied the interactomes of these two proteins by using CRISPR-Cas9 technology to insert an HA-tag at the C terminus of MFN1 and MFN2, and thus generating HeLa cell lines that endogenously expressed MFN1-HA or MFN2-HA.

Cancer cells compensate with increasing mitochondria-derived vesicles (MDVs) to maintain mitochondrial homeostasis, when canonical MAP1LC3B/LC3B (microtubule associated protein 1 light chain 3 beta)-mediated mitophagy is lacking. MDVs promote the transport of mitochondrial components into extracellular vesicles (EVs) and induce tumor metastasis. Although HSP90 (heat shock protein 90) chaperones hundreds of client proteins and its inhibitors suppress tumors, HSP90 inhibitors-related chemotherapy is associated with unexpected metastasis.

Mitophagy is the intracellular recycling system that disposes damaged/inefficient mitochondria and allows biogenesis of new organelles to ensure mitochondrial quality is optimized. Dysfunctional mitophagy has been implicated in human aging and diseases. Multiple evolutionarily selected, redundant mechanisms of mitophagy have been identified, but their specific roles in human health and their potential exploitation as therapeutic targets are unclear.
