( A ) Representative Western blot bands showing the expression of ATG7, PIK3C3, ATG4B, p62, LC3B, and β-actin (loading control) in HBE cells treated with 0, 1, 10, 50, or 100 ng/mL LPS. ( B–F ) Quantitative analysis of relative protein expression (normalized to β-actin) for ATG4B ( B ), ATG7 ( C ), PIK3C3 ( D ), p62 ( E ), and LC3B-II ( F ).

Article Title: Hexavalent chromium induced autophagy-dependent mTOR expression mediated by upregulation of HMGA2. Article Snippet: High mobility group A2 (HMGA2) overexpression is often observed in cancers.. Previously, we found that HMGA2 contributed to hexavalent chromium [Cr (VI)]-mediated autophagy.. In this study, interestingly, Cr (VI) treatment triggered both autophagy and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in vivo ( BALB/c mice, 0.5 and 1.5 mg/kg, p.o.) and in vitro (0.1, 0.2 and 0.4 μM in A549 and HELF cells), and both autophagy and mTOR were implicated in Cr (VI)-initiated cell growth.
