Figure 5

Autophagy protein response and regulators of p53 expression in the absence of p53 and with training. (A) Proteins in the autophagy pathway were measured; (B) LC3-II/LC3-I ratio (n = 6–8/group); *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, UT vs. T, 2-way ANOVA, (C) p62 (n = 5–8/group), *p ≤ 0.05, UT vs. T; ††p ≤ 0.01, UT WT vs. mKO, 2-way ANOVA, (D) Parkin (n = 5–7/group); *p ≤ 0.05, UT vs. T, Student’s t-test and 2-way ANOVA; ††p ≤ 0.01, UT WT vs. mKO, 2-way ANOVA, and (E) Beclin-1 (n = 5–7/group); *p ≤ 0.05, UT vs. T, Student’s t-test; ††p ≤ 0.01, UT WT vs. mKO, 2-way ANOVA. (F) Regulators of p53 expression (Mdm2) and its mitochondrial localization (CHCHD4) were next examined. Whole muscle protein expression of (G) Mdm2 (n = 5–6/group); *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01, UT vs. T, 2-way ANOVA, and (H) CHCHD4 (n = 5–6/group); **p ≤ 0.01, UT vs. T, Student’s t-test and 2-way ANOVA; ††p ≤ 0.01, UT WT vs. mKO, Student’s t-test, was measured. Data are presented as mean ± SEM.
