Figure Lengend Snippet: PrxⅢ rescues lysosomal dysfunction and promotes autophagosome–lysosome fusion under DOX-induced stress. Cells were transduced with Ad-PrxⅢ or Ad-Stuffer for 24 h and then exposed to 1 μM DOX for 6 h. (A) Lysosomal protease activity was analyzed using Magic Red (red), and nuclei were counterstained with Hoechst (blue). Scale bar, 25 μm. (B, C) Lysosomal acidity was analyzed by (B) DQ-BSA Red (red; scale bar, 10 μm) and (C) LysoSensor Green DND-189 (green; scale bar, 25 μm). Nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). (D) Cells were transduced with Ad-PrxⅢ or Ad-Stuffer in the presence of GFP-LC3 (green) adenovirus for 24 h and treated as above. Fixed cells were immunostained with anti-LAMP1 antibody (red), and nuclei were stained with DAPI (blue). Colocalization of GFP-LC3 and LAMP1 was plotted as yellow dots in graph. Scale bar, 15 μm. Five randomly selected microscopic fields per sample were analyzed and combined to represent one biological replicate. All data are presented as mean ± S.D. Statistical significance was determined using two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni's post hoc test. ∗∗p < 0.01 and ∗∗∗p < 0.001.
