A highly significant correlation was found between decreased levels of PICALM and increased levels of LC3-II (p=0.0032) or decreased levels of Beclin-1 (p=0.0295) in the total brain lysates from these diseases (Fig 6D,E). PubMed:27260836
Methylene blue, a contrast agent that can reduce tau misfolding, has also been shown to induce macroautophagy, as indicated by elevated Beclin 1 and LC3-II levels and reduced tau and p62 levels in organotypic neuronal cultures and a mouse model of FTD [159] PubMed:29758300
In APP transgenic mouse models of AD, undigested autophagy substrates including LC3-II, p62, and ubiquitinated proteins accumulate in neuronal AVs, establishing that autophagic protein turnover in lysosomes is impeded (Yang et al. 2011). PubMed:22908190

LC3-I becomes conjugated to PE to form “LC3-II” and thereby covalently associates with the phagophore PubMed:18930136
While GABARAP and GATE-16 may also be conjugated to PE in experimental systems, at present MAP-LC3 (typically abbreviated LC3) is the only protein that is known to remain associated with the autophagosome in higher eukaryotes. PubMed:18930136
