Abstract
The cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors (CI-M6PR) bind newly synthesized mannose 6-phosphate (Man-6-P)-tagged enzymes in the Golgi and transport them to late endosomes/lysosomes, providing them with degradative functions. Following the cargo delivery, empty receptors are recycled via early/recycling endosomes back to the trans-Golgi network (TGN) retrogradely in a dynein-dependent motion. One of the most widely used methods for studying the retrograde trafficking of CI-M6PR involves employing the CD8α-CI-M6PR chimera. This chimera, comprising a CD8 ectodomain fused with the cytoplasmic tail of the CI-M6PR receptor, allows for labeling at the plasma membrane, followed by trafficking only in a retrograde direction. Previous studies utilizing the CD8α-CI-M6PR chimera have focused mainly on colocalization studies with various endocytic markers under steady-state conditions. This protocol extends the application of the CD8α-CI-M6PR chimera to live cell imaging, followed by a quantitative analysis of its motion towards the Golgi. Additionally, we present an approach to quantify parameters such as speed and track lengths associated with the motility of CD8α-CI-M6PR endosomes using the Fiji plugin TrackMate.
Key features
• This assay is adapted from the methodology by Prof. Matthew Seaman for studying the retrograde trafficking of CI-M6PR by expressing CD8α-CI-M6PR chimera in HeLa cells.
• The experiments include live-cell imaging of surface-labeled CD8α-CI-M6PR molecules, followed by a chase in cells.
• Allows the monitoring of real-time motion of CD8α-CI-M6PR endosomes and facilitates calculation of kinetic parameters associated with endosome trajectories, e.g., speed and distance (run lengths).

Background
At steady state, the cation-independent mannose 6-phosphate receptors (CI-M6PR) are primarily localized to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), with a perinuclear endosomal population and a minor fraction on the plasma membrane. Post cargo delivery to endolysosomal compartments, CI-M6PR receptors undergo trafficking from all the cellular locations to early/recycling endosomes; subsequently, they are retrieved back to TGN in a dynein-dependent manner. This endosome-to-TGN retrieval of CI-M6PR is crucial for maintaining lysosomal activity and is regulated by various proteins involved in sorting and packaging into carrier vesicles followed by their motility towards TGN. Dysregulation in CI-M6PR receptor trafficking is linked to neurodegenerative and lysosomal storage disorders such as Batten's disease and Parkinson's disease [1,2]. Initial studies on CI-M6PR trafficking either required radiolabeling newly synthesized CI-M6PR and tracking their journey from Golgi or predominantly relied on measuring the redistribution of CI-M6PR receptors from TGN to other cellular compartments [3]. However, these methodologies only provide information on the localization of the cargo upon its impaired trafficking without revealing the exact direction of trafficking defect. Recently, several studies have employed the CD8α-CI-M6PR chimera (developed by Matthew Seaman; [4]) to study retrograde trafficking of CI-M6PR, involving colocalization of CD8α-CI-M6PR with different endocytic markers at steady-state. This chimera, a fusion of the ectodomain of CD8 and the cytoplasmic tail of CI-M6PR, allows trafficking only in the retrograde direction towards the Golgi [5]. Here, we present a protocol that extends the use of CD8α-CI-M6PR chimera in a live-cell imaging setup, where surface receptors are labeled and then chased in cells as they move towards the Golgi (Figure 1). We also provide an approach to perform the quantitative analysis of CD8α-CI-M6PR motion as they move from early/recycling endosome to Golgi, including the calculation of kinetic parameters such as speed and distance associated with their motion.

Biological materials
70%–80% confluent HeLa cells (ATCC)
Note: We have used HeLa cells for this analysis because they are easy to transfect and considerably flat for 2D analysis of endosome motility; however, other cell lines can also be used.
