Scale bar, 20 µm. (B) Western blotting and (C) densitometry analysis of LC3B, Beclin1 and ATG5 expression levels in si-NC and si-TSPO H9c2 cells with or without A/R stimulation. (D) Western blotting and (E) densitometry analysis of p-PI3K, PI3K, p-Akt, Akt, p-mTOR and mTOR expression levels. (F) Western blotting and (G) densitometry analysis of P62, PINK1 and Parkin expression levels. (H) Western blotting and (I) densitometry analysis of Mfn2 and Drp1 protein expression levels. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001, **** P<0.0001. TSPO, translocator protein; A/R, anoxia/reoxygenation; si, small interfering; NC, negative control; p-, phosporyalated.
