Western blot analysis of TF, Beclin-1, and LC3B protein expression in the pulmonary artery. Note: S = sham operation group, E = experimental group. a Sham operation group; b 1-week subgroup in experimental group; c 2-week subgroup in experimental group; d: 4-week subgroup in experimental group. TF, Beclin-1, and LC3B protein were expressed in the pulmonary artery of rats in both the sham operation and experimental groups (a). TF protein expression in the experimental groups was increased compared to the sham operation group (b). In contrast, the Beclin-1 and LC3B protein expression was lower in the experimental groups than in the sham operation group (c, d). * indicated that TF, Beclin-1, and LC3B protein expression of experimental group compared to sham operation group (P < 0.05, respectively) in the 1-, 2-, and 4-week subgroups. # indicated that the TF, Beclin-1, and LC3B protein expression of 4-week subgroup compared to 1-week subgroup (P >0.05, respectively) and 2-week subgroup (P >0.05, respectively) in the experimental group. & indicated that the TF, Beclin-1, and LC3B protein expression of 2-week subgroup compared to 1-week subgroup (P >0.05, respectively) in the experimental group
