Both RNase3 and the RNase-H15A active site mutant induce autophagy in macrophages. RAW 264.7 mouse macrophages were infected with M. aurum and treated with 10 μM of protein (RNase3 and RNase3-H15A). Real-time qPCR measured the relative expression of BECN1 (A) and ATG5 (B) genes normalized by the housekeeping gene β-actin. Results are shown from 3 independent experiments (mean ± SD); (C) Immunoblot of LC3-processing and the housekeeping GAPDH control. Results are shown from 3 independent experiments (mean ± SD). *Statistically significant differences compared with the control sample are indicated (p value < 0.05).
