Fig. 6From: Accumulation of damaged mitochondria in alveolar macrophages with reduced OXPHOS related gene expression in IPFAutophagy markers in IPF AMs. Protein levels of LC3B I (a), LC3B II (b) LC3BII/I (c), p62 (d) relative to actin in total BAL cell lysates from IPF (n = 16) and control (n = 9) subjects. e Corresponding Western blot. Protein levels of p62 (f) and LC3B II (g) in BAL cells treated with Chloroquine (CQ) for 1 h relative to untreated (NT) from IPF (n = 13) and controls (n = 6). h Representative Western Blots of control and IPF samples. For all comparisons Mann-Whitney test was used, data are represented as median with interquartile rangesBack to article page
