Abstract:
:This ultrastructural investigation on renal collecting duct cells and hepatocytes of rats deals with the question of whether or not lipid-storage lysosomes as induced by cationic amphiphilic compounds retain their ability to fuse with autophagosomes/autolysosomes. These were recognized by their glycogen content which was made to persist by means of acarbose, an inhibitor of lysosomal alpha-glucosidase. To induce lipidosis, rats were pretreated for several weeks with chloroquine or chlorphentermine; they then received combined treatment with the lipidosis-inducing drug plus acarbose. In renal collecting duct cells, mixed storage lysosomes displaying the features of both lipidosis and glycogenosis were found to predominate, indicating that fusion between lipid-laden lysosomes and glycogen-containing autophagosomes/autolysosomes was efficient. Hepatocytes also displayed some mixed storage lysosomes; these were, however, regularly accompanied, within a given hepatocyte, by greater numbers of pure lipidosis-related inclusions and pure glycogen vacuoles. This observation indicates that in hepatocytes lipid-storage lysosomes were rather reluctant to fuse, thus displaying a feature of telolysosomes which are no longer capable of participating in cellular digestion.
