Figure Lengend Snippet: SH3 domain GRB2-like endophilin B1 (SH3GLB1) is a downstream protein of superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2). ( A ) The biological network of SH3GLB1-mediated autophagy and SOD2-involved antioxidants was predicted using the STRING bioinformatics tool. ( B ) Resistant cells were transfected with the microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3-Enhanced Green Fluorescent Protein (LC3-EGFP) plasmid, and representative fluorescent images for the formation of LC3-EGFP dots (puncta) are shown. Scale bar: 4 μm. ( C ) Protein immunoblotting showing that the resistant cells treated with temozolomide (TMZ) for 24 h induced autophagic reactions, which were attenuated by pretreatment with diethyldithiocarbamic acid (DETC; an SOD inhibitor). ( D ) Immunohistochemical (IHC) staining demonstrating SH3GLB1 expression in primary, recurrent glioblastoma (GBM-R) cells inoculated subcutaneously into mice receiving the indicated treatments for 15 days. A statistical graph is shown in the right-hand panel. Scale bar: 200 μm. ( E ) SOD2 siRNA or ( F ) overexpression vectors were used in U87MG- and A172-resistance cells or U87MG- and A172-parental cells, respectively, three days after transfection to examine the association between SOD2 and SH3GLB1. ( G ) SH3GLB1 siRNA was used in U87MG- and A172-resistance cells, and the association between SH3GLB1 and SOD2 was studied using western blotting. For each blot, the adjacent bar chart depicts the fold change relative to control. N = 3 in each group. * p < 0.05, ** p < 0.01 and *** p < 0.001

Article Snippet: The following antibodies were used for western blot analyses: SH3GLB1 (Cat No. 15422-1-AP; 1:5000), aquaporin 9 (AQP9; Cat No. 20380-1-AP; 1:5000) (Proteintech, Rosemont, IL, USA), Microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3B (LC3B; Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Dallas, TX, USA; sc-376404; 1:20000), p62 (Cat No. 5114; 1:6000), SOD2 (Cat No. 13141; 1:6000), AKT (Cat No. 9272; 1:6000), p-AKT (Cat No. 9271; 1:6000) (Cell Signaling, Danvers, MA, USA), vinculin (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA; Cat No. 14-9777-82; 1:10000), and actin (Merck Millipore, Burlington, MA, USA; Cat No. MAB1501; 1:20000).
