miR-143 inhibits cytarabine-induced autophagy in HL60 cells. (A, B) HL60 cells were transfected with 100 nM O/E miR-143 or 100 nM O/E Ctrl for 48 h, and then treated with or without 500 nM cytarabine for 24 h. The protein expression of LC-3 was measured by immunoblotting. β-actin was used as a loading control. The representative images (A) and statistical analysis of LC3-II/β-actin (B) are shown. (C) HL60 cells were transfected as in (A) and treated with cytarabine in the presence or absence of 30 μM chloroquine. The expression of SQSTM1 was analyzed by immunoblotting. (D, E) HL60 cells were transfected with 100 nM Antagomir-143 or 100 nM Antagomir Ctrl for 48 h, and then treated with or without 500 nM cytarabine for 24 h. The protein expression of LC-3 (D) and statistical analysis of LC3-II/β-actin (E) were conducted as in (A, B). (F) HL60 cells were transfected as in (D) and treated with cytarabine in the presence or absence of 30 μM chloroquine. The expression of SQSTM1 was analyzed by immunoblotting. All data were from 3 independent experiments and expressed as mean ± SD. Data were compared using Student t-test. **, P<0.01.
