Misaponin B Induces G2/M Arrest, Cytokinesis Failure and Impairs Autophagy

Figure 2

(a) Effect of Misaponin B on LC3B conversion and p62 at the protein level in A549 and AsPC-1 cells. Western blot analysis of A549 and AsPC-1 cells were treated with Misaponin B (7.5 to 45 μM) for 24 h and subjected to western blotting (n = 2). (b, c) Effect of Misaponin B on LC3B at mRNA level. A549 and AsPC-1 cells were treated with Misaponin B for 24 h and subjected to RT-PCR analysis. (d) Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images showing autophagic vacuoles in Misaponin B-treated A549 cells. Misaponin B-treated A549 cells were photographed by TEM (n = 3).
