From: Autophagy is induced in the skeletal muscle of cachectic cancer patients
p62 expression in rectus abdominis muscle of cancer and control patients.
(A) p62 mRNA levels were evaluated by real-time PCR (control, n = 11; non cachectic cancer patients, n = 17; cachectic cancer patients, n = 12); (B) p62 protein levels were evaluated by western blotting (control, n = 8; non cachectic cancer patients, n = 15; cachectic cancer patients, n = 10): representative western blots for p62 and GAPDH (loading control) are shown on the lower panel and densitometric quantifications of p62 protein levels normalized to GAPDH are shown on the upper panel. Data (mean ± SEM) are expressed as percentage of controls. Significance of the differences: *p < 0.05 vs controls.
