Figure 3From: Expression of Derlin-1 and its effect on expression of autophagy marker genes under endoplasmic reticulum stress in lung cancer cellsDetection of Derlin-1 and autophagy marker gene expression after transfection of Derlin-1 siRNA with or without TM in A549 cells using western blot. A) Detection of autophagy marker gene expression after transfection of Derlin-1 siRNA with or without TM in A549 cells. B) Detection of Derlin-1 expression after TM exposure in A549 cells. The results show no significant alteration in Beclin 1 and LC3II expression after Derlin-1 siRNA transfection, but the accumulation of p62 indicates a disruption in p62 degradation and impairment of autophagy flux.Back to article page
