ABA inducing autophagy and activates the MAPK signalling pathway independent of beclin 1 RNA interference (siRNA) in glioblastoma cells. a, b Representative transmission electron microscope (TEM) images of autophagic vacuoles (arrows). Regions within the boxes are magnified in the insets indicating the double-membrane autophagosomes. Scale bars: 500 nm. Right panels in a and b show the quantification of ABA-induced autophagic vacuoles/μm2/cell with or without siRNA against beclin 1 in a U87 MG and b A172 cells. cf ABA-induced expression of MAPK signalling pathway effectors independent of beclin 1 silencing in U87 (c, e) and A172 (e, f) cells measured by Western blotting. Values represent the mean ± SEM. **P < 0.01, n = 3
