To determine whether LC3 and Gabarapl1 are also transcriptionally regulated by FOXO3 in neuroblastoma cells we measured the mRNA expression of LC3 and Gabarapl1 in SH-EP/FOXO3-shCtr and SH-EP/FOXO3-shDEPP-13 cells by quantitative RT-PCR analyses. This evidence concerns the gene MAP1LC3A and neuroblastoma.
