From: Altered autophagic flux enhances inflammatory responses during inflammation-induced preterm labor
Expression of LAMP-1 and LAMP-2 is decreased in both inflammation-induced and non-inflammation-induced preterm labor.
(A) LAMP-1 and (B) LAMP-2 (green) by immunofluorescence staining in uterus and placenta recovered from preterm labor and control groups. Six sections per animal were analyzed. Original magnification: 400X. Panels C and D show sample western blot and corresponding densitometric analysis of LAMP-1, LAMP-2 and GAPDH in uterus recovered from preterm labor and control groups. N = 4–5 each group. Error bars = ±SEM. *P ≤ 0.05 Significant difference vs. respective control. Full-length blots are presented in Supplementary Figure 12.
