Activation of autophagic flux in MeHg-exposed MerB-expressing cells. WT and MerB-expressing cells were treated with 4 µM MeHg in the presence or absence of 20 µM chloroquine (CQ) for 24 h. (a) The total lysates were subjected to immunoblotting with the indicated antibodies. (b) The bar graphs represent data from replicated experiments (n = 3, Tukey’s HSD ***p < 0.001, *p < 0.05; ###p < 0.001 versus WT).
