Abstract

Lysosomes are one of the important organelles within cells, and their dynamic movement processes are associated with many biological events. Therefore, real-time monitoring of lysosomal dynamics processes has far-reaching implications. A lysosome-targeted fluorescent probe N(CH2)3-BD-PZ is proposed for real-time monitoring of lysosomal kinetic motility. Using this probe, the dynamic process of lysosomes under starvation induction was successfully explored through fluorescence imaging. Importantly, we observed a new pattern of lysosomal dynamic movement, in which an irregular lysosome was slowly cleaved into two different-sized touching lysosomes and then fused to form a new round lysosome. This research provides a powerful fluorescence tool to understand the dynamic motility of intracellular lysosomes under fluorescence imaging.
