GW6471-induced integral autophagy in 786-O cells. (a) Images of AO dyed in 786-O cells treated with different groups of drugs. (b) Semivalue of AO’s fluorescent signal in 786-O cells treated with different groups of drugs normalized to per cell. (c) The expression of LC3-I/II was analyzed by western blotting. (d) Ratio of LC3-II/LC3-I. (e) Expression of p62 was analyzed by western blotting. (f) Semiquantification of p62 normalized by GAPDH. (25 μM GW6471, WY14643, and 50 μM hydroxychloroquine was applied in validating autophagic flux and the remaining experiment.
