ECDD-S27 inhibits autophagic flux and decreases cancer cell survival. HT-29 (a), HepG2 (b), and HeLa (c) cells were transfected with cDNAs encoding GFP-LC3B. At 48 h after transfection, cells were treated with DMSO (negative control) or ECDD-S27 at indicated concentrations for 72 h. Cells were then stained with Hoechst and processed for HC image analysis. Percent cell viability and autophagic flux-inhibited cells were then analyzed. Data are shown as mean ± SEM. **p < 0.01 and ***p < 0.001, all relative to the DMSO control, were determined by one-way ANOVA with a Tukey’s multiple comparison test. HT-29 (d), HepG2 (e), HeLa (f) cells were treated with DMSO (negative control), ECDD-S27, bafilomycin A1, or bafilomycin A1 in combination with ECDD-S27 at the indicated concentrations for 72 h and their viability was measured by the MTS assay. Data are shown as mean ± SD from at least two independent experiments; results were expressed relative to the DMSO control, defined as 100%. p ≥ 0.05 and ***p < 0.001, all relative to the DMSO control, were determined by one-way ANOVA with a Tukey’s multiple comparison test.
