Vacuolin-1 is a potent and cell-permeable lysosomal exocytosis inhibitor. Vacuolin-1 blocks the Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of lysosomes and prevents the release of lysosomal content without affecting the process of resealing. vacuolin‐1 is a potent and selective PIKfyve inhibitor and inhibits late‐stage autophagy by impairing lysosomal maturation. Vacuolin-1 can induce vacuole formation and increase the percentage of enucleated cells.

Description

Vacuolin-1 is a potent and cell-permeable lysosomal exocytosis inhibitor. Vacuolin-1 blocks the Ca2+-dependent exocytosis of lysosomes and prevents the release of lysosomal content without affecting the process of resealing. vacuolin‐1 is a potent and selective PIKfyve inhibitor and inhibits late‐stage autophagy by impairing lysosomal maturation. Vacuolin-1 can induce vacuole formation and increase the percentage of enucleated cells[1][2][4].
In Vitro

Vacuolin-1 (1 μM; Pretreatment 1 hour) blocks ionomycin-induced exocytosis of lysosomes but not of enlargeosomes. It results in vacuolation of lysosomes (A) and complete inhibition of the surface expression of Lamp-1[1].
Vacuolin-1 (1 μM; 20-180 min) disrupts the segregation of inner and limiting membranes characteristic of endosomes and lysosomes. Ultrastructural analysis also shows that vacuolin-1 favours fusion of inner and limiting membranes[1].
Vacuolin-1 (5 or 10 μM; 2 hours) blocks the Ca2+-dependent release of β-hexosaminidase from lysosomes. In HeLa cells, ionomycin results in the expected release of 18-20% of lysosomal β-hexosaminidase. But when cells pretreated with vacuolin-1, releases no more β-hexosaminidase compared with cells that are not exposed to ionomycin (4%)[1].

In Vivo:

Select the appropriate dissolution method based on your experimental animal and administration route.

For the following dissolution methods, please ensure to first prepare a clear stock solution using an In Vitro approach and then sequentially add co-solvents:
To ensure reliable experimental results, the clarified stock solution can be appropriately stored based on storage conditions. As for the working solution for in vivo experiments, it is recommended to prepare freshly and use it on the same day.
The percentages shown for the solvents indicate their volumetric ratio in the final prepared solution. If precipitation or phase separation occurs during preparation, heat and/or sonication can be used to aid dissolution.

  • Protocol 1

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    40% PEG300    5% Tween-80    45% Saline

    Solubility: 1 mg/mL (1.73 mM); Suspended solution; Need ultrasonic

    This protocol yields a suspended solution of 1 mg/mL. Suspended solution can be used for oral and intraperitoneal injection.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 400 μL PEG300, and mix evenly; then add 50 μL Tween-80 and mix evenly; then add 450 μL Saline to adjust the volume to 1 mL.

    Preparation of Saline: Dissolve 0.9 g sodium chloride in ddH₂O and dilute to 100 mL to obtain a clear Saline solution.
  • Protocol 2

    Add each solvent one by one:  10% DMSO    90% Corn Oil

    Solubility: ≥ 1 mg/mL (1.73 mM); Clear solution

    This protocol yields a clear solution of ≥ 1 mg/mL (saturation unknown). If the continuous dosing period exceeds half a month, please choose this protocol carefully.

    Taking 1 mL working solution as an example, add 100 μL DMSO stock solution (10.0 mg/mL) to 900 μL Corn oil, and mix evenly.

Help & FAQs
  • Do most proteins show cross-species activity?

    Species cross-reactivity must be investigated individually for each product. Many human cytokines will produce a nice response in mouse cell lines, and many mouse proteins will show activity on human cells. Other proteins may have a lower specific activity when used in the opposite species.
