Primary cilia are conserved cellular organelles that regulate diverse signaling pathways.Autophagy is a complex process of cellular degradation and recycling of cytoplasmic proteins and organelles, and plays an important role in cellular homeostasis.Despite its potential importance, the role of autophagy in ciliogenesis is largely unknown.In this study, we identified sertraline as a regulator of autophagy and ciliogenesis.Sertraline, a known antidepressant,induced the growth of cilia and blocked the disassembly of cilia in htRPE cells.Following treatment of sertraline, there was an increase in the number of cells with autophagic puncta and LC3 protein conversion.In addition, both a decrease of ATG5 expression and the treatment of an autophagy inhibitor resulted in the suppression of the sertraline-induced activation of autophagy in htRPE cells.Interestingly, we found that genetic and chemical inhibition of autophagy attenuated the growth of primary cilia in htRPE cells.Taken together, our results suggest that the inhibition of autophagy suppresses sertraline-induced ciliogenesis.
