Extended Data Fig. 10. PIKfyve mediates a cellular vacuolization morphology in human prostate cancer cells and murine cancer cells, and Pikfyve loss induces accumulation of autophagosomes in various murine cancer cells.
(a) Morphology of DU145 and PC3 cells after siNC, siPIKFYVE, siPIP5K1C, or siPIK3CA transfection from three independent experiments.
(b) mRNA levels of PIKFYVE, PIP5K1C, and PIK3CA were measured by qPCR after siRNA knockdown of indicated targets in DU145 and PC3 cells. Data were analyzed by two-tailed unpaired t test and presented as mean ± SEM from three independent experiments. P-value indicated.
(c) Morphological changes of TRAMP-C2, ID8, and Ae17 cells after siNC or siPikfyve transfection from three independent experiments.
(d) Autophagosome induction activity measured with CYTO-ID® assay in TRAMP-C2, ID8, and Ae17 cells after siRNA knockdown of Pikfyve. Data were analyzed by two-tailed unpaired t test and presented as mean ± SEM from four (TRAMP-C2 and ID8) and six (Ae17) independent experiments. P-value indicated.
