Detection of autophagy-related protein expression by WB. (A) WB results of LC3B-II and P62; (B) Grayscale analysis of LC3B-II/LC3B-I; (C) Grayscale analysis of P62; (D) WB results of autophagy signal pathway proteins AMPK, p-AMPK, mTOR and p-mTOR; (E) Grayscale analysis of P-mTOR/mTOR; (F) Grayscale analysis of p-AMPK/AMPK. The gel images of mTOR and AMPK were cropped from the same membrane. The blots were cut prior to hybridisation with antibodies. The data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 3) of three experiments. The statistical significance of differences between groups was analyzed using two-tailed Student’s t-tests, and differences were considered statistically significant when *P < 0.05 and **P < 0.01 (Supplementary information 1).
