Tumor Susceptibility Gene 101 (TSG101) is a member of endosomal sorting complexes responsible for endocytic pathway, which is associated with autophagic process. However, the role of TSG101 in autophagy remains unclear. To investigate the effect of TSG101 on the membrane-bound MAP1LC3-II, p62 and ubiquitinated protein levels in neuron cells, immunoblotting was used to evaluate the effects in cells silenced with siRNA against TSG101 and treated with autophagy inducer rapamycin. GFP-MAP1LC3 and tandem fluorescent-tagged LC3 (mTagRFP-mWasabi-MAP1LC3) reporter vectors were used to monitor autophagy in cells using confocal microcopy. The autophagic vacuoles were further validated with transmission electron microscopy. Our results showed that TSG101 expression was slightly increased in neuron cells when exposed to rapamycin. Depletion of TSG101 with siRNA lead to accumulation of MAP1LC3-II, GFP-MAP1LC3 puncta and autophagic vacuoles in the cells. Rapamycin-elevated MAP1LC3-II turnover and RFP+Wasabi- puncta were repressed in TSG101 silenced cells, indicating that TSG101 is involved in rapamycin-induced autophagic flux in cells. Moreover, silencing TSG101 reduced colocalization of Rab7, MAP1LC3 and cell viability, increased p62, ubiquitinated proteins in the neuron cells. Taken together, our results suggested that TSG101 might be required for amphisome formation to promote autophagic flux in neuron cells when exposed to rapamycin.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
