The contribution of autophagy in glioblastoma multiforme cells treated with human recombinant arginase I-induced arginine deprivation. (c2018) حسب El Jbeily, Elie

"…Furthermore, the contribution of autophagy to arginine depletion-induced cytotoxicity in GBM cells was tested by incubating SF and U87 cells with either HuArgI (Co)-PEG5000 alone and in combination with an autophagy inhibitor (chloroquine or 3- methyladenine) at different time points. Cell death decreased when autophagy was inhibited in SF cells at late time points, thus proving its role in arginine depletion induced cell death. …"
