(C) Upper panel: CHO cells were preincubated for 30 min with 10 µM of calpeptin, with 1 mM dbcAMP, or with calpeptin+dbcAMP, and then they were incubated for 4 h in complete medium in the presence (Hla) or absence (Ctr) of α-hemolysin. Afterwards, cells were lysed with sample buffer and the samples were subjected to Western blot analysis using a rabbit anti-LC3 and the corresponding HRP-labeled secondary antibody. The bands were subsequently developed with an enhanced chemiluminescence detection kit. Lower panel: Quantification of the band intensities with the Adobe Photoshop program. * p<0.05 (paired Student's t-test). These data are representative of three independent experiments.
