Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 3. DDIT4 is essential for DINP-induced autophagy of ovarian granulosa cells. (A, B) The protein levels of LC3, Beclin 1, Atg 5, p62 and DDIT4 were determined by Western blot after KGN cells were transfected with 0, 1, 2 μg pcDNA3.1-DDIT4 plasmid for 48 h. (C) Autophagic vesicles were observed by TEM after KGN cells were transfected with 0 or 2 μg pcDNA3.1-DDIT4 for 48 h. (D, E) The expression of LC3, Beclin 1, Atg 5, p62 and DDIT4 in KGN cells was detected by Western blot after the cells were transfected with si-NC or si-DDIT4 for 24 h. The protein levels of LC3, Beclin 1, Atg 5, p62 and DDIT4 (F, G) and the DDIT4 mRNA level (H) in KGN cells were detected after the cells were exposed to 0 or 800 μM DINP in the presence or absence of si-DDIT4 for 24 h.*P < 0.05.
