Table 1 IHC scores of LC3 in unwounded and chronic wounds skin from non-DM and DM patients.

From: AGEs Induced Autophagy Impairs Cutaneous Wound Healing via Stimulating Macrophage Polarization to M1 in Diabetes

 

Unwounded Skin

Chronic Wounds

N-DM

0.60 ± 0.55 (n = 5)

4.55 ± 1.19 (n = 20)**

DM

1.00 ± 0.71 (n = 5)

5.36 ± 0.87 (n = 44)**#

  1. **P < 0.01, compared to unwounded skin.
  2. #P < 0.05, compared to non-DM groups.
  3. Expressions of LC3 in chronic wounds from patients with or without diabetes were increased significantly than that in unwounded skin. Meanwhile, the levels of LC3 in chronic wounds from DM patients were higher than that from non-DM patients.
