Fig. 3From: Chloroquine, an autophagy inhibitor, potentiates the radiosensitivity of glioma initiating cells by inhibiting autophagy and activating apoptosisIrradiation obviously promoted autophagy and obviously enhanced autophagy associated proteins expression in U87 GICs, and chloroquine can significantly inhibit the autophagy process which induced by radiation. a Representative images(×200) of the indicated regions of U87 GICs, which analyzed for LC3 expression by immunofluorescence analysis. b Quantitative analysis of the number of cells with punctuate GFP-LC3. c Authophagy-associated protein LC3 level in U87 GICs were examined by Western blotting. d Quantification of LC3 protein expression in U87 GICs treated by indicated treatments after normalization with GAPDH levels. Mean ± SD. n = 3. (*, p < 0.05;**p < 0.01)Back to article page
