Figure Lengend Snippet: Western blot analysis of total brain lysates from MSA patients and normal controls. Raw data for the levels of ULK1, ULK2, AMBRA1, TRAF6, beclin1, VPS34, p62, LC3 and actin in the cerebellar white matter of patients with MSA (n = 5) and normal controls (n = 5) (A). In patient with MSA, there were significantly increased expression levels of ULK1 (B), ULK2 (C) and AMBRA1 (D). On the other hand, TFAF6 was significantly decreased in patients with MSA (E). No significant difference in the levels of beclin1 (F), VPS34 (G), p62 (H) and LC3‐II relative to LC3‐I (I) between MSA patients and normal controls. *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01.
