Furthermore, our results showed that both cell lines transfected with ATG7 and Beclin-1 shRNA presented with significantly increased activity levels and cleavage of caspase-3, caspase-8, and caspase-9 compared with cells transfected with scrambled shRNA during PPRV infection for 72 h (Figure 10(g-i)). The gene discussed is CASP9; the disease is infection.
