From: 58-F, a flavanone from Ophiopogon japonicus, prevents hepatocyte death by decreasing lysosomal membrane permeability

Figure 5

Effect of 58-F on lysosomal membrane permeability.

(A) LysoTracker Green staining (scale bar = 10 μm) is shown. Ten thousand cells were plated in a 60 mm confocal plate and after the designated treatments, the cells were incubated with 75 nM LysoTracker Green for 30 min at 37 °C. (B) Quantification of the LysoTracker Green staining is shown. (C) Levels of LAMP1 mRNA were measured in cells by qRT-PCR. (D,E) Levels of LAMP1 protein were measured in cells by Western blotting and quantification is shown. (F,G) LAMP1 shRNA inhibition efficiency was determined by Western blot analysis and quantification is shown. (H) The cell viability of LAMP1 shRNA cells was determined. (I,J) LysoTracker Green staining of LAMP1 shRNA cells (scale bar = 10 μm) is shown. All data are presented as the mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed using Student’s t test. (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
