when induced lysosomes evolve into autolysosomes, Lyso-OC
exhibits weak fluorescence simultaneously (Figure 4b).
Therefore, we deduced that the lysosomal polarity has been
increased in the membrane fusion between lysosomes and
autophagosomes.

With the above data in hand, we tried to use Lyso-OC to
monitor autophagy with fluorescent signal. The con-focal
imaging of the MCF-7 cells stained with Lyso-OC was recorded
at different time (0-4 hours) under different cell culture
conditions (normal, autophagy and autophagy inhibited). As
shown in figure 5, the fluorescence of cells in rich nutrient
(normal) has kept constant at different time dues (Video S1)
suggesting probe Lyso-OC is photo resistance at this
experimental circumstance. However, the fluorescence of cells
in starvation decreased to 40% gradually with time increase
(Video S2). Furthermore, cells were incubated in HBSS in the
presence of 3-Methyladenine (3-MA, autophagy inhibitor), the
fluorescence in these cells was found to be remained
unchanged with the incubation time increasing (Video S3).
From Figure 5 and Video S2, we can also see that the
fluorescence change of a single cell under autophagy condition
could be recorded vividly. Similar results were found in HeLa
cells (figure S16).Thus, the fluorescent change of Lyso-OC
could be used as an efficient detection signal for monitoring
autophagy process in living cells.

two-photon action cross-sections and low cytotoxicity. It can
selec-tively stain lysosomes in live cells and tissues. Fluores-
cence data of multiple cell lines including MCF-7 cells, HeLa
cells, HELF cells and CHO cells demonstrates the detecting
ability and wide applicability of Lyso-OC to lysosomal polarity.
More significantly, Lyso-OC can monitor autophagy of a single
cell and multiple cells by detecting the change of lysosomal
polarity efficiently and economically. These results provide
useful guide-lines for using Lyso-OC as a novel method for real-
time monitoring autophagy from chemical overview.
