Autophagy can be monitored by the accumulation of the autophagy marker LC3 and the degradation of p62.32 Inhibition of autophagic degradation usually causes accumulations and puncta formations of both LC3-I/II and p62.32 Thus, we analyzed the abundance and distribution of these two biological markers after treating DLD1 and LoVo human colon cancer cell lines with eight in-house generated molecules (Figures 1b and c, S1A). This evidence concerns the gene SQSTM1 and malignant colon neoplasm.
