From: Transcription factors NRF2 and HSF1 have opposing functions in autophagy
NRF2 is required for basal and HBB2-induced autophagic flux. Immunofluorescence images (a) and quantitative analysis (b) of the colocalization of p62 and LC3B in U2OS cells, which had been transfected with either control siRNA (top two panels) or NRF2 siRNA (bottom two panels) for 48 h, and subsequently treated with bafilomycin A1 (Baf-A1; 10 nM) for 18 h. Note that in the case of detection of LC3B, an antibody exhibiting a stronger reactivity to the lipidated form (LC3B-II) was used (LC3B D11, CST #3868). Wide-field microscope (Deltavision Elite) was used to collect the images where in each field 25 images were taken with an optical section of 0.2 μm. The deconvolved images represent the summed intensity projection using SoftWorX (Version 5.5). Scale bar = 20 µm.
