Inhibition of ISO-induced LC3 conversion by JUA. Effect of JUA in different concentrations on ISO-induced LC3-II/I protein level in H9C2 cells. Cells were pretreated with various concentrations (5, 10, and 20 μM) of JUA and exposed to 100 μM of ISO for 6 h; proteins samples were prepared at the indicated time points and analyzed by western blotting. LC3 was analyzed using specific anti-LC3 antibody. Ratio of LC3-II/I protein levels was calculated and relative protein quantification in treated versus control extracts was calculated by densitometric analysis. Beta-actin was probed as a loading control. Data represent the mean ± SEM of three independent experiments, and differences between mean values were assessed by one-way ANOVA. versus group treated with ISO only.
