The molecular target and mechanism by which d-limonene induces LC3 lipidation and autophagosome formation remain elusive. Here, we report that this monoterpene rapidly enhances Ca2+ levels in SH-SY5Y cells; yet this effect does not lead to calpain- or caspase-mediated proteolysis of α-spectrin, nor calpain activity is required for the established enhancement of LC3-II levels by d-limonene. However, d-limonene rapidly reduced vimentin levels, an unexpected effect also induced by the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ). The magnitude o
