DACT1 expression increased 3AO chemoresponse to cis-platinum by enhancing autophagy. (a) and (b) Viability of ovarian cancer cell lines incubated with cis-platinum (CDDP), measured by CCK-8 assay. (****P < 0.0001). (c) and (d) Viability of 3AO-DACT1 or 3AO-NC cells incubated with the indicated concentrations of cis-platinum (****P < 0.0001, paired t test). (e) and (f) Accumulation of markers of autophagy in 3AO-DACT1 or 3AO-NC cells was assessed by Western blot. Increased levels of Beclin1 and the lipidated form of LC3 (LC3-II/LC3-I) were detected in 3AO-DACT1 cells. α-tubulin was used as the loading control. Grey values collected by Fusion were analysed (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01). (g) and (h) Viability of 3AO-DACT1 or 3AO-NC cells incubated with the indicated concentrations of cis-platinum in the presence or absence of chloroquine (***P < 0.001, paired t test, P < 0.05, **P < 0.001, ****P < 0.0001). All the experiment was repeated at least three times.
