Lung carcinoma cell line, A549, was starved in serum-free, glucose-free media and treated with 1 µM Rapamycin or left untreated. After 6 hours, cells were stained with Autophagy Detection Probe Blue (Cat. No. 421906), and the fluorescence intensity was quantified using Image J. Data shown are averages of at least 3 biological replicates. Error bars represent standard deviation.

Rapamycin is an antifungal metabolite produced by Streptomyces hygroscopicus. Rapamycin is a potent and specific mTOR inhibitor. This allosteric inhibitor of mammalian mTORC1 induces autophagy and also acts as an immunosuppressant. mTORC1 is a central integrator of nutrient signaling pathways and stimulates cell growth and proliferation by activating anabolic processes inhibiting catabolic process such as autophagy.
