Obatoclax blocks cell growth and induces apoptosis in starving CRC cells. a and b HT29 and SW480 cells were treated with obatoclax in full supplemented medium or starvation as indicated. a Cell growth was assessed by MTT-Assay after 48 h. Cell death was assessed by Flow Cytometry after 48 h. Assays were done in triplicates. Values are expressed as mean ± SD. b Representative Western blots for p62 and LC3 I/II in HT29 and SW480 treated with obatoclax or ABT-737 in full supplemented medium as indicated. c Rel. mRNA levels of LC3 in HT29 cells after 24 h treatment with obatoclax. mRNA levels were quantified by qRT-PCR and normalized to GAPDH as housekeeping gene. Assays are representative of at least three independent experiments . ** = p < 0.01; *** = p < 0.001
