From: Impact of PKCε downregulation on autophagy in glioblastoma cells
Effect of PKCε downregulation and rapamycin or 3-MA treatment on Bcl-2, a protein that regulates autophagy process. a U-138 MG and b U-118 MG cells were transfected for 72 h with PKCε siRNA (PKCε siRNA) and non-targeting siRNA (Control siRNA) and then were treated for 24 h with rapamycin (300 nM) (PKCε siRNA + Rap) or 3-MA (5 mM) (PKCε siRNA + 3-MA). GAPDH was used as a loading control and as an internal standard. Representative blots are shown. The densitometric analysis represents means ±SD of three independent experiments. * P < 0.05, statistically significant compared to Control siRNA
