Background

Autophagy is a catabolic process for the autophagosomic-lysosomal degradation of bulk cytoplasmic contents (1,2). Autophagy is generally activated by conditions of nutrient deprivation, but it has also been associated with a number of physiological processes including development, differentiation, neurodegenerative diseases, infection, and cancer (3). Autophagy marker Light Chain 3 (LC3) was originally identified as a subunit of microtubule-associated proteins 1A and 1B (termed MAP1LC3) (4) and subsequently found to contain similarity to the yeast protein Apg8/Aut7/Cvt5 critical for autophagy (5). Three human LC3 isoforms (LC3A, LC3B, and LC3C) undergo posttranslational modifications during autophagy (6-9). Cleavage of LC3 at the carboxy terminus immediately following synthesis yields the cytosolic LC3-I form. During autophagy, LC3-I is converted to LC3-II through lipidation by a ubiquitin-like system involving Atg7 and Atg3 that allows for LC3 to become associated with autophagic vesicles (6-10). The presence of LC3 in autophagosomes and the conversion of LC3 to the lower migrating form, LC3-II, have been used as indicators of autophagy (11).

LC3B (D11) XP® Rabbit mAb

Western Blotting Image 1: LC3B (D11) XP® Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Western blot analysis of extracts from HCT 116 and HCT 116 LC3B knockout cells, untreated (-) or treated with Chloroquine #14774 (50 μM, 18 hr) using LC3B (D11) XP® Rabbit mAb #3868 (upper) or GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb #5174 (lower). The absence of signal in the HCT 116 knockout cells confirms the specificity of the antibody for LC3B.
Western Blotting Image 2: LC3B (D11) XP® Rabbit mAb Expand Image
Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-), SignalSilence® LC3B siRNA I #6212 (+) or SignalSilence® LC3B siRNA II #6213 (+), using LC3B (D11) XP® Rabbit mAb #3868 and α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb #2125. The LC3B (D11) XP® Rabbit mAb confirms silencing of LC3B expression, while the α-Tubulin (11H10) Rabbit mAb is used to control for loading and specificity of LC3B siRNA.
