NEDD4 contributes to autophagy. Western blot analysis of LC3 levels in NEDD4 Scr and KD HeLa cells (A), NEDD4 Scr and KD THP-1 cells (B) and Nedd4+/+ or nedd4−/− MEFs (C) with or without choloroquine (CQ) treatment. (D) Western blot analysis of SQSTM1 levels in Nedd4+/+ or nedd4−/− MEFs with or without CQ treatment. (E) Immunofluorescence analysis of YFP-LC3B puncta in Nedd4+/+ or nedd4−/− MEFs stably expressing YFP-LC3B. (F) Quantification of YFP-LC3B puncta per cell. Data are shown as mean ± SD of 3 independent experiments. A total of 50 cells per group for each experiment were quantified. P values were calculated using the Student 2-tailed unpaired t test. (*) p ≤0.05. (G) Western blot analysis of LC3 levels in Nedd4+/+ or nedd4−/− MEFs after starvation, Torin1 or CCCP treatment with or without CQ. (H) Western blot analysis of LC3 levels in Scr and NEDD4 KD THP-1 cells upon Mtb or Mtb ΔRD1 infection. (I) Western blot analysis of LC3 levels in Scr and NEDD4 KD THP-1 cells upon BCG or rBCG infection. LC3-II:ACTB ratio was determined using ImageJ software and normalized to control. Results are representative of 3 independent experiments.
