1 Nigericin-induced impairment of autophagic flux in neuronal cells is inhibited by overexpression of Bak. Nigericin BCL2-antagonist/killer 1 Mus musculus
2 To investigate whether and how Bak exerts a regulatory role on autophagy-related events, we treated independent cell lines, including MN9D neuronal cells, with nigericin, a K(+)/H(+) ionophore. Nigericin BCL2-antagonist/killer 1 Mus musculus
3 Subsequent biochemical and electron microscopic studies revealed that overexpressed Bak maintained autophagic flux and reduced the area occupied by swollen vacuoles in nigericin-treated cells. Nigericin BCL2-antagonist/killer 1 Mus musculus
