Nuclear Protein Extraction (High-Salt/Hypotonic Fractionation)
The high-salt/hypotonic fractionation method for nuclear protein extraction is based on the differential solubility of cellular components. Cytoplasmic proteins are extracted first using a hypotonic buffer that causes cell swelling and membrane rupture, followed by centrifugation to separate the cytoplasmic supernatant from the nuclear pellet. The nuclear pellet is then subjected to high-salt extraction (e. g. , 0. 4 M (NH4)2SO4 or 1 M NaCl) to solubilize tightly bound nuclear matrix proteins, including transcription factors, histones, and structural proteins associated with chromatin and the nuclear scaffold. This approach allows for the isolation of both soluble cytoplasmic proteins and salt-resistant nuclear proteins while minimizing cross-contamination.

Cytoplasmic-Nuclear Fractionated Protein Extraction
Cytoplasmic-nuclear fractionated protein extraction separates soluble cytoplasmic proteins from nuclear-enriched proteins by mild plasma-membrane permeabilization, differential centrifugation, washing of nuclei, and extraction of nuclear proteins for downstream immunoblotting or related molecular analysis. The readout is the relative abundance of a protein in cytoplasmic and nuclear fractions, commonly assessed by western blotting together with compartment markers such as tubulin or pyruvate kinase for cytoplasm and lamin, nucleoporin, hnRNP, H2AX, or Lamin B for nuclear fractions.

Autophagy
Autophagy is a process in which eukaryotic cells use lysosomes to degrade their own cytoplasmic proteins and damaged organelles under the regulation of autophagy related gene (Atg). Microtubule-associated proteins light chain 3 (LC3) is recognized as autophagy marker, which transfers from cytoplasmic LC3 (LC3-I) to membrane type (LC3-II). LC3-II/I ratio could be detected by Western Blot and fluorescence microscopy.

Lysosome and acidic-vesicle live-cell staining
Lysosome and acidic-vesicle live-cell staining detects acidic intracellular compartments by using membrane-permeant acidotropic probes that accumulate in low-pH vesicles, including lysosomes, late endosomes, autolysosomes, and acidic phagosomes. LysoTracker staining is commonly used as an intensity-based readout of acidic lysosomal compartment abundance or enlargement, while acridine orange produces green fluorescence in less concentrated compartments and red fluorescence after concentration-dependent accumulation in acidic vesicular organelles. Loss or reduction of acridine-orange red signal can be used as a readout of lysosomal membrane permeabilization or reduced acidic-vesicle integrity. This protocol is designed for live cultured cells and can be adapted for fluorescence microscopy, high-content imaging, plate-reader readout, or flow cytometry when the selected literature supports the readout. Because these dyes report acidotropic accumulation rather than lysosome identity alone,

Macroautophagy Solutions
Macroautophagy is a conserved lysosome-dependent degradation pathway in which cytoplasmic material is sequestered into double-membrane autophagosomes and delivered to lysosomes for degradation and recycling. The pathway supports cellular homeostasis during nutrient limitation, organelle stress, protein-aggregate accumulation, infection, differentiation, and tissue remodeling by coupling cargo sequestration, autophagosome maturation, lysosomal fusion, and degradation of cargo-derived macromolecules. The core molecular sequence includes initiation by nutrient- and stress-regulated autophagy machinery, autophagosome nucleation, LC3/ATG8-family conjugation to autophagosomal membranes, cargo selection through receptors such as SQSTM1/p62, autophagosome-lysosome fusion, and lysosomal degradation. LC3 was identified as a mammalian homolog of yeast Atg8 that localizes to autophagosomal membranes after processing, and p62/SQSTM1 was shown to connect ubiquitinated cargo with autophagic degradati
