Representative images of western blots (<b>A</b>) and quantitative data from 3 repeats (<b>B, C</b>) are shown. Paired <i>t</i>-test, *<i>p</i><0.01. <b>D</b> and <b>E</b>, 3-MA and BFA concentration-dependently increases GFPu/RFP ratio at 24 hours. At 24 hr after the drug treatment, the cells were harvested for total protein extraction and western blot analyses of the indicated proteins. Representative images (<b>D</b>) and pooled densitometry data (<b>E</b>) are shown. Two-way ANOVA followed by the Scheffé's test; *<i>p</i><0.05, **<i>p</i><0.01 vs. CTL; n = 3 repeats/group.</p>
