From: Autophagy is induced in the skeletal muscle of cachectic cancer patients
TFEB expression in rectus abdominis muscle of cancer and control patients.
(A) TFEB mRNA levels were evaluated by real-time PCR (control, n = 11; non cachectic cancer patients, n = 16; cachectic cancer patients, n = 12); (B) TFEB nuclear protein levels were evaluated by western blotting (control, n = 4; non cachectic cancer patients, n = 5; cachectic cancer patients, n = 3): representative western blots for TFEB and Lamin A (loading control) are shown on the lower panel and densitometric quantifications of TFEB protein levels normalized to Lamin A are shown on the upper panel. Data (mean ± SEM) are expressed as percentage of controls.
