48 hours after addition of rapamycin(150 nM), the cells were imaged as described in Figure A to detect formation of punctuated GFP-LC3 structure. Quantification represented the ratio of GFP-LC3 punctuated positive cell to the total cell counted(Figure B).

H4-LC3-GFP cells were treated with 1 nM IFNA2 for the indicated periods in the presence of 200 nM rapamycin. Images of the cells were collected using an ArrayScan HCS 4.0 Reader. Representative cells are shown. The average spot intensity in 500 cells from each indicated sample was determined. Data are displayed as means ?SD of the spot intensity per cell (below). RLU, relative leight unit.

Rheb Induces Phospho-eIF2a Independent of mTORC1 and Promotes Phospho-eIF2a Predominantly through PERK (A) Western blotting of indicated proteins of HEK293 expressing cDNAs of myc (control) or myc-Rheb WT were grown in DMEM with serum (+) or without serum (-) or pretreated with the inhibitors rapamycin (250 nM) or DMSO (0.5%, control). (B) Western blotting of indicated proteins in HEK293 cells expressing myc or myc-Rheb and pretreated with rapamycin or DMSO as in (A). (C) Western blotting of indicated proteins in HEK293 cells expressing myc or myc-Rheb and pretreated with inhibitors of MAPK (PD98059, 50 mM) or PI3K (wortmannin, 100 nM), rapamycin, or DMSO.

Cells were cultured with the indicated concentrations of PLS-123, rapamycin (Granta519 0.002 μM, Mino 0.001 μM, Z138 0.005 μM), and their combination for 48 h. The results are expressed as the mean of relative activity and S.D. from triplicate cultures. The results are representative of at least three similar experiments.

Rapamycin (RPM) inhibits OA-induced lipogenesis. Male SD rats were divided into three groups, and then treated as follows for seven days: group I (control; Ctrl), normal diet + vehicle; group II (OA), 1% OA diet + vehicle; group III (OA + RPM), 1% OA diet + RPM. (A) Hepatic TG concentrations were determined using the serum triglyceride determination kit. (B) Fixed liver sections were subjected to HE and Oil Red O staining as well as immunohistochemistry assays with SREBP-1 antibody. Representative microphotographs of liver specimens from all groups of rats are shown. (C) The levels of mRNA of the indicated genes involved in lipogenesis were determined by real-time PCR. Each bar represents the mean ±SE of the results obtained from six rats. * P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01, *** P < 0.001.

Immunophilins participate in SOCE activation by CN-dependent but also CN-independent signaling pathways. Fura-2 loaded platelets were suspended in HBS and subsequently incubated at 37oC for 30 min with rapamycin (500 nM). Once incubation time was over, platelets were stimulated with TG (200 nM) in a calcium free-HBS (EGTA 100 μM was added as indicated the by arrowhead) and 4 min later CaCl2 (300 µM) was added to visualized calcium entry. Changes in fura-2 fluorescence were monitored using the 340/380nm ratio and calibrated in terms of [Ca2+]c . Traces are representative of four to six independent experiments. *,**, *** represents p < 0.05, p < 0.01 and p <0.001, respect control platelets.

Autophagy induced by PL-0N and PL may restrict LPS-induced inflammatory responses in RAW264.7 cells. LPS induced autophagy in RAW264.7 cells. Cells were incubated with 1 mM 3-MA or 10 uM Rapamycin in the absence or presence of LPS (1 ug/mL) for 16 h. Then immunofluorescence for LC3 was visualized using a Zeiss LSM 710 confocal microscope.

Inhibition of mTOR activity may be responsible for sorafenib-induced down-regulation of survivin. H1299 cells were treated with the indicated concentration of RAD001 or Rapamycin for 48 h. Then H1299 cells were incubated with or without 5 μM sorafenib, with or without 5 μM RAD001, and with or without 2 μM rapamycin for 48 h.  The indicated protein levels were determined by Western blot analysis. β-Actin protein levels were measured as loading controls.
