Myricetin induced autophagy by inhibiting the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling pathway in HCT116 and SW620 cells. a LC3-I/II and Beclin-1 were detected by Western blotting with β-actin as the loading control. b Quantification of the Western blotting results with a histogram. c Transmission electron microscopy showed the number of autophagosomes (rectangle) in the cells treated with myricetin. d Protein levels were detected by Western blotting with β-actin as the loading control. Cells were treated with 50 or 100 μmol/L myricetin for 48 h. The Western blots were analysed by densitometry in ImageJ, and the myricetin treatment group was compared with the control group. The experiment was repeated three times (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001 vs. control)
