Inhibition of PRMT5 induces autophagy. (a) Immunoblot (IB) analysis of whole cell lysates (WCL) derived from BT-549 cells depleted of PRMT5 by two independent sgRNAs. (b) IB of WCL derived from BT-549 cells treated with GSK3326595 (GSK) at indicated doses for 3 days. (c, d) Representative images of GFP-LC3 puncta and cells with more than 10 puncta were counted in BT-549 (c) and Hs 578T (d) cells treated with DMSO or 1 μM GSK for 3 days. Scale bar, 10 μm. Data are shown as mean ± SD of n = 3 independent experiments with a total of 50 cells counted per experiment. P values were calculated by Student’s t test. (e, f) Representative images of GFP-LC3-RFP puncta in BT-549 cells depleted of PRMT5. Scale bar, 10 μm. Cells with more than 5 GFP-LC3 and RFP-LC3 puncta were counted as positive and data are shown as mean ± SD of n = 3 independent experiments with a total of 100 cells counted per experiment. P values were calculated by Student’s t test. (g) IB analysis of WCL derived from BT-549 cells depleted of PRMT5. Cells were treated with chloroquine 20 μM (CQ) for 0, 4, 8 h before harvesting. Similar results were obtained in n ≥ 3 independent experiments in (a, b, g).
