note = "Funding Information: Fig. 2 BCR-mediated autophagy is dependent on BCR signaling and provides a survival advantage to CLL cells. a CLL samples (n = 11) were treated with bead-bound isotype control antibody (IC) or anti-IgM with or without HCQ at indicated concentrations for 24 h and LC3B-II levels evaluated by immunoblotting. A representative immunoblot is shown. Blots were quantified and the mean fold change (±SEM) in LC3B-II level with each treatment vs. IC without HCQ is shown in the accompanying graph. A t-test was used for statistical analysis. b CLL samples (n = 6) were treated with or without IL-4 (10 ng/ml), in the presence or absence of HCQ, for 24 h before treatment with bead-bound IC or anti-IgM for 24 h. LC3B-II levels were evaluated by immunoblotting and the mean fold change (±SEM) in LC3B-II levels with each treatment vs. IC without HCQ is shown. A Wilcoxon{\textquoteright}s matched-pairs signed-rank test was used for statistical analysis. c CLL samples (n = 10) were treated with HCQ and a SYK (tamatinib; Tam) or BTK (ibrutinib; Ibr) inhibitor (both 5 μM) for 1 h before stimulation with bead-bound IC or anti-IgM for 24 h and the LC3B-II level evaluated by immunoblotting.
