Knockdown efficiency and expression profile of Raf-1, MEK1, LC3B, and ATG12 in siRNA-transfected cells. (A) Relative LDH production from transfected cells upon 2 days posttransfection compared with the control-transfected cells, n = 4. Error bars indicate the SD of four biological replicates (B, C) Relative gene expression of Raf-1 and MEK1, respectively in siRNA-transfected MCF-7 cells upon 48 h posttransfection compared with the control-transfected cells (siRNA anti-Luciferase). (D, E) Relative gene expression of autophagy-related LC3B and Atg12, respectively, indicated by the fold change in siRNA-transfected cells compared with the control-transfected cells. Levels of GAPDH–mRNA were used as an internal control. Error bars indicate the SD of three independent experiments. (F) Quantification analysis of total Raf-1 and lipidated LC3B in the transfected MCF-7 cells indicated by flow cytometry and compared with the control-transfected cells. (G) Quantification analysis of kinetic protein profile of pRaf-1 and pMEK in transfected MCF-7 cells indicated by flow cytometry and compared to control-transfected cells. Data are representative of three independent experiments. A Student’s t-test analysis was performed. **p < 0.01.
