PGRN suppresses H. pylori-induced autophagy via down-regulation of DCN. (A) Gene microarray analysis of PGRN downstream target genes shown as volcano plots. (B) Western blot of DCN in BGC-823 cells transfected with WT PGRN and PGRN siRNA. (C) Western blot of DCN in BGC-823 cells transfected with DCN siRNA. (D) Western blot of LC3B in BGC-823 cells transfected with DCN siRNA following H. pylori infection for 12 h. (E) Western blot of LC3B in BGC-823 cells transfected with PGRN or/and DCN siRNA. (F) qRT-PCR analysis of 16S rRNA levels in BGC-823 cells transfected with DCN siRNA following H. pylori infection for 12 h (n=3). (G) qRT-PCR analysis of 16S rRNA levels in BGC-823 cells transfected with DCN siRNA, PGRN siRNA following H. pylori infection for 6, 12 h (n=3). (*P<0.05, **P<0.01, ***P<0.001, ns, not significant).
