Popis: Lysosomal protein degradation via autophagy strictly regulates cellular protein homoeostasis. Herein we performed high-content screening to identify compounds that inhibit autophagy pathways. We obtained 11 hit compounds and performed cluster analysis using cellular morphological information. Vacuolin-1, which induces the formation of giant vacuoles and is a target unknown compound, clustered with the known PIKfyve inhibitor YM201636. We further confirmed that vacuolin-1 is a potent PIKfyve inhibitor, and we finally concluded that PIKfyve inhibitors are novel chemical tools for regulating autophagy.
