Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 4 |ATP6V0A1 regulates autophagy through mTORC1 signaling. (A, B) Representative western blot bands and statistical graphs showing the levels of the autophagy-related proteins LC3 and P62 in Ctrl shRNA and ATP6V0A1 shRNA cells with or without bafilomycin stimulation for 24 hours (n = 3). (C, D) Representative western blot bands and a statistical graph of LC3 and P62 expression in control and bafilomycin- overexpressing cells with or without bafilomycin stimulation for 24 hours (n = 3). (E, F) Transmission electron microscopy images of autophagosomes in MN9D cells from the control and knockdown groups (n = 3), with the statistical graph shown in F. The arrows show autophagosomes. (G, H) Immunocytochemical staining of LAMP-1 (red, Alexa Fluor 555) and LC3 (green, Alexa Fluor 488) upon ATP6V0A1 knockdown in MN9D cells. Magnified images of LAMP-1 and LC3 staining are shown in the right column (n = 3 per group). (I, J) Representative western blot bands and the statistical graph of mTORC pathway–related proteins (mTORC, p-mTORC, S6K, and p-S6K) in Ctrl shRNA and ATP6V0A1 shRNA cells. (K, L) Representative western blot bands and a statistical graph of LC3 and P62 expression in cells subjected to rapamycin treatment for 24 hours (n = 3). All the data are expressed as the mean ± SEM. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Ctrl shRNA: Lentiviral vector-transfected MN9D cells; ATP6V0A1 shRNA: lentiviral knockdown sequence-transfected MN9D cells; Vector: lentiviral vector-transfected MN9D cells; ATP6V0A1: cells constructed with ATP6V0A1 lentivirus. LAMP-1: Lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1. ATP6V0A1: ATPase H+ transporting V0 subunit A1; LAMP-1: lysosomal-associated membrane protein 1; LC3: light chain 3; mTORC1: mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1; p-mTORC: phosphorylated mTORC; p-S6K: phosphorylated S6K; S6K: S6 kinase B1; shRNA: short hairpin RNA.
