Continuous macroautophagic activity is critical for the maintenance of neuronal homeostasis; however, unchecked or dysregulated autophagy can lead to cell death. Cultured Purkinje neurons die by an autophagy-associated cell death mechanism when deprived of trophic support. Here, we report that insulin-like growth factor-I ( IGF-I) completely blocked the autophagy-associated cell death of Purkinje neurons. To examine the mechanism by which IGF-I influences autophagy, neurons were infected with adeno-RFP-LC3 and subjected to trophic factor withdrawal, and the size and number of autophagosomes were analyzed by live-cell fluorescence imaging. In control neurons, autophagy occurred at a constitutive low level with most autophagosomes measuring less than 0.75 mu m. Trophic factor withdrawal increased the number and size of autophagosomes with most autophagosomes ranging between 0.75 and 1.5 mu m and some reaching 1.5-2.25 mu m. IGF-I added at the time of trophic factor withdrawal prevented the accumulation of the larger autophagosomes; however, it had no effect on the conversion of LC3, an indicator of autophagy induction. Instead, the rate of autophagosome-to-lysosome fusion measured by colocalization of RFP-LC3 and LysoSensor Green was accelerated by IGF-I. Treating the neurons with bafilomycin A(1) in the presence of IGF-I led to the accumulation of autophagosomes even larger than those induced by trophic factor withdrawal alone, indicating that IGF-I regulates autophagic vesicle turnover. Finally, the effect of IGF-I on autophagy was mediated by an Akt/mTOR-dependent and an ERK-independent pathway. These data suggest a novel role for IGF-I in protecting Purkinje neurons from autophagy-associated cell death by increasing autophagy efficiency downstream of autophagy induction.
