BECN1 silencing in SAOs cell line. Immunoblotting of BECN1 expression in SAOs cells untreated and treated for 72 h with si-FITC (40 nM) and si-RNA against BECN1 (20 nM and 40 nM). Blots are representative of one out of two separate experiments performed. Densitometric values reported between panels were expressed by the ratio BECN1/α-tubulin.
