This conclusion is based on the following five seminal observations: (1) almost all autophagic vacuoles of alternative autophagy were localized near the Golgi apparatus, (2) Golgi ministack formation preceded autophagosome generation, (3) some isolation membranes extended from the Golgi membranes, (4) trans-Golgi proteins were observed on autophagosomes and autolysosomes, and (5) the depletion of Golgi proteins inhibited alternative autophagy but not conventional autophagy.

Autophagy is an essential and conserved process, through which intact organelles and/or large portions of the cytoplasm are engulfed within double-membraned autophagic vacuoles for degradation, and may be dysregulated in metabolic diseases, neurodegenerative disorders, infectious diseases, and cancer [24].

Consistently with an activation of the autophagic pathway, 0.5 mM lithium induces the appearance of many autophagic vacuoles whereas the phosphorylation/inactivation of GSK3[alpha]/[beta] was observed only at a higher lithium concentration (2mM).
