Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is a multistep intracellular catabolic process with pleiotropic implications in cell fate. Attending to its activation, autophagy can be classified into inducible or constitutive. Constitutive, or basal autophagy, unfolds under nutrient-replete conditions to maintain the cellular homeostasis. Autophagy inhibitory drugs are powerful tools to interrogate the role of autophagy and its consequences on cell fate. However, 3-methyladenine and various of these compounds present an intrinsic capacity to trigger cell death, for instance the broadly-employed 3-methyladenine. To elucidate whether the inhibition of basal autophagy is causative of cell demise, we have employed several representative compounds acting at different phases of the autophagic process: initiation (SBI0206965 and MHY1485), nucleation (3-methyladenine, SAR405, Spautin-1 and Cpd18), and completion (Bafilomycin A1 and Chloroquine). These compounds inhibited the basal autophagy of MEF cultures in growing conditions. Among them, 3-methyladenine, SBI-0206965, Chloroquine, and Bafilomycin A1 triggered BAX- and/or BAK-dependent cytotoxicity and caspase activation. 3-methyladenine was the only compound to induce a consistent and abrupt decrease in cell viability across a series of ontologically unrelated human cell lines. 3-methyladenine-induced cytotoxicity was not driven by the inhibition of the AKT/mTOR axis. Autophagy-deficient Fip200−/− MEFs displayed an increased sensitivity to activate caspases and to undergo cell death in response to 3-methyladenine. The cytotoxicity induced by 3-methyladenine correlated with a massive DNA damage, as shown by γ-H2A.X. This genotoxicity was observed at 10 mM 3-methyladenine, the usual concentration to inhibit autophagy and was maximized in Fip200−/− MEFs. In sum, our results suggest that, in growing conditions, autophagy acts as a protective mechanism to diminish the intrinsic cytotoxicity of 3-methyladenine. However, when the cellular stress exerted by 3-methyladenine surpasses the protective effect of basal autophagy, caspase activation and DNA damage compromise the cell viability.
