Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 3. Fyn-dependent STAT3 regulation of autophagy (A) Representative immunoblots from three independent experiments. After 15 min of IL-6 treatment, lysates of C2C12 myotubes were immunoprecipitated with Fyn antibody and immunoblots were prepared using the indicated antibodies. (B) Representative immunoblots from three independent experiments. After 15 min of either IL-1b or IL-6 treatment, lysates of C2C12 myotubes were immunoprecipitated with total STAT3 antibody, followed by immunoblotting with Fyn. (C) Representative immunoblots from three independent experiments indicating autophagy flux in myotube lysates, determined after NH4Cl/leupeptin treatment for 2 h, followed by IL-6 treatment. Lysates were immunoblotted with the indicated antibodies (a). Signal quantification of the expression levels for LC3-II, normalized to GAPDH (n = 3) (b). Data are expressed as mean G SEM. *p < 0.05, ***p < 0.005 vs. control. The Mann-Whitney U test was used for statistical comparison. The bars on each column show standard error of the mean. Abbreviations: STAT3, signal transducer and activator of transcription; IL, interleukin; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; SEM, standard error of the mean; N/L, NH4Cl/leupeptin.
Article Snippet: Rabbit polyclonal antibodies against STAT3 and pY705-STAT3 were obtained from Cell Signaling (Boston, MA, USA) and rabbit polyclonal antibody against pY705-STAT3 was obtained from Santa Cruz Biotechnology (Santa Cruz, CA, USA).
