(H) The frequency of the different Beclin‐1 phenotypes depended on the efficiency of Beclin‐1 knockdown. Mitotic progression in cells treated with increasing concentrations of Beclin‐1 siRNA was followed by video‐microscopy. Left panel: western blot of Beclin‐1 upon RNAi treatment; right panel: quantification of the appearance of the three different mitotic progression patterns, that is, prolonged mitosis with normal anaphase (as C), with lagging chromatids (as D) and mitotic exit without clear anaphase (as E) upon increased Beclin‐1 knockdown experiments. NEB, nuclear envelop breakdown; RNAi, RNA interference; siRNA, small interfering RNA; YFP, yellow fluorescent protein.
