CPAP depletion does not affect <t>Rab5</t> recruitment to the endosomes and ligand-bound EGFR-positive endosomes HeLa cells expressing control or CPAP shRNA were treated with AF555-EGF ligand for the indicated time points, stained, and subjected to 4-color imaging by confocal microscopy. Images representing the detection of Rab5 and EEA1 (A), Rab5 and CD63 (B), and Rab5 (along with AF555-EGF) (C) are shown. Left (A–C): maximum intensity-projection images of confocal Z stacks. Right (A–C): single Z-plane of images. Bottom left graph in (C): co-localization (yellow) was quantified by determining the percentages of EGF-positive (red) puncta containing Rab5 (green) puncta in representative single Z-planes of each cell and quantified from multiple cells across at least three experiments. Bottom right graph in (C): relative integrated fluorescence intensity values of Rab5 staining quantified in representative single Z-planes of each cell and quantified from multiple cells across at least three experiments. Scale bars: 10 μm. p values were not statistically significant. Zoomed images correspond to the dashed inset boxes of the indicated images. Note: (B) and (C) present data from the same experiments where 4-color imaging was done and convey information on two different aspects based on three markers at a time. Since the visuals of the same cell can help with more reliable interpretation of the data, images of the same cell were used, where possible, for (B) and (C) with the same or different pseudo-color. Hence, duplication of some sub-images among (B) and (C) is intentional.

Working model depicting Rab5-mediated lipid droplet (LD) catabolism in HCC . Under nutrient deprivation, Rab5 GTP binding is increased and promotes a higher frequency of interaction with LDs, driving tethering and fusion with lysosomes via microlipophagy. Inside the lysosome, lysosomal acid lipase (LAL) degrades LD, releasing free fatty acids (FFAs), which are then shuttled to mitochondria for β-oxidation to fuel HCC cell proliferation and survival. HCC, hepatocellular carcinoma.

Scale bars: 10 μm. p values were not statistically significant. Zoomed images correspond to the dashed inset boxes of the indicated images. Note: (B) and (C) present data from the same experiments where 4-color imaging was done and convey information on two different aspects based on three markers at a time. Since the visuals of the same cell can help with more reliable interpretation of the data, images of the same cell were used, where possible, for (B) and (C) with the same or different pseudo-color. Hence, duplication of some sub-images among (B) and (C) is intentional.

Figure Lengend Snippet: CPAP depletion disrupts Rab5-to-Rab7 conversion (A) HeLa cells expressing control or CPAP shRNA were treated with untagged EGF for 60 min, stained for Rab5 and Rab7, and imaged by Airyscan super-resolution microscopy. Left: maximum intensity-projection images of Z stacks; middle: single Z-plane of images; right: co-localization (yellow) was quantified by determining the percentages of Rab5-positive (green) puncta containing Rab7 (red) puncta in representative single Z-planes of each cell and quantified from multiple cells across at least three experiments. (B) HeLa cells expressing control or CPAP shRNA were transfected with GFP-Rab5 and mCherry-Rab7 constructs, treated with untagged EGF for 60 min, and imaged by Airyscan super-resolution microscopy. Left: maximum intensity-projection images of Z stacks; middle: single Z-plane of images; right: co-localization (yellow) was quantified by determining the percentages of GFP-Rab5-positive (green) puncta containing mCherry-Rab7 (red) puncta in representative single Z-planes of each cell and quantified from multiple cells across at least three experiments. The object-based co-localization macro tool FIJI was employed. (C) HeLa cells stably expressing control or CPAP-shRNA were transfected with control vector (GFP), GFP-Rab7 (WT; wild-type) or GFP-Rab7 (DN; dominant negative) vector constructs, treated with AF555-EGF ligand for 60 min, and stained for CD63 to mark MVBs/late endosomes, and imaged by confocal microscopy to determine AF555-EGF and CD63 co-localization. Left top row: GFP expression in control and Rab7 construct-expressing cells; left bottom rows: representative single Z-plane of images showing ligand-bound EGFR-CD63 co-localization; right: co-localization (yellow) was quantified by determining the percentages of EGF-positive (red) puncta containing CD63 (green) puncta in representative single Z-planes of each cell and quantified from multiple cells across at least three experiments. Zoomed images correspond to the dashed inset boxes of the indicated images. Scale bars: 10 μm. p values: ∗∗∗∗<0.0001 by unpaired nonparametric Mann-Whitney test.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Rab5-to-Rab7 conversion and EGFR trafficking to late endosomes are restored in CPAP-depleted cells upon HRS, but not TSG101, overexpression (A) Schematic of the experimental strategy using control and CPAP-specific siRNA-treated HeLa cells with and without GFP-HRS or GFP-TSG101 expression. (B and C) Control and CPAP-specific siRNA-treated HeLa cells were subjected to mock or GFP-HRS or GFP-TSG101 vector transfection for 24 h, treated with untagged EGF for 60 min, and stained for Rab5 and Rab7 (B) or treated with AF555-EGF for 30 min and stained for Rab7 (C) and imaged by Lightning super resolution microscopy. Left: representative single Z-plane of images showing localization of Rab7 on Rab5-positive puncta (B) and AF555-EGF on Rab7-positive puncta (C) in cells with and without GFP-HRS or GFP-TSG101 expression. Right: co-localization (yellow) was quantified by determining the percentages of Rab5-positive (green) puncta containing Rab7-positive (red) puncta in (B) and EGF-positive (red) puncta containing Rab7 (green, pseudo-color) in (C) in representative single Z-planes of each cell and quantified from multiple cells across at least three experiments. Zoomed images correspond to the dashed inset boxes of the indicated images. Scale bars: 10 μm. p values: ∗<0.05, ∗∗ <0.01, ∗∗∗∗<0.0001 by unpaired nonparametric Mann-Whitney test.
