The RAB3GAP complex antagonizes the FEZ1/2-mediated suppression of autophagy. (A) Immunoblot analysis of cells that were manipulated with the indicated siRNA for 48 h and treated with DMSO (−) or bafilomycin A1 (+) for 4 h. Tubulin served as control for equal loading. Statistics are depicted as mean ± SD normalized to nonsense control; n.s. = not significant, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, n = 4, t test. (B) Identical to (A) but different siRNA treatments. Statistics are depicted as mean ± SD normalized to nonsense control; n.s. = not significant, *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01,n = 4, t test. (C) Confocal images of LC3 immunostainings. Fibroblasts were treated with the indicated siRNA for 48 h and treated with DMSO or bafilomycin A1 for 4 h. DAPI was used to stain nuclei. Scale bar = 50 μm. Autophagosomal structures were counted in 20 to 40 cells of 3 independent experiments; n.s. = not significant, ***P < 0.001, t test. (D) Immunoblot analysis of cells that were manipulated with the indicated plasmids for 48 h and treated with DMSO (−) or bafilomycin A1 (+) for 4 h. Since FEZ1/2 overexpression affected tubulin levels, actin served as control for equal loading. Statistics are depicted as mean ± SD normalized to eV control; n.s. = not significant, *P < 0.05,n = 4, t test.
