Autophagic turnover in the cortex is impaired after HI. (a) Western blot analysis of ubiquitin (UBQ) and SQSTM1/p62 in cortical tissue lysates from sham-operated and injured animals. (b, c) Densitometric analysis of (b) total ubiquitinated proteins and (c) SQSTM1/p62 with respect to the loading control, β-actin (n=4, **P<0.01). (d) Images of sensorimotor cortical sections stained with antibodies against LC3 and SQSTM1/p62. Scale bar=50 μm for low power images and 10 μm for high power insets. (e) Relative mRNA level of SQSTM1/p62 in the cortices of uninjured control and injured piglets (n=3). (f) Quantification of immunofluorescence data showing the number of SQSTM1/p62-positive cells in cortical brain sections from sham-operated and HI piglets (n=3, *P<0.05 at 1 d after HI). (g) Quantification of LC3-positive cells, and LC3 and SQSTM1/p62 double-positive cells. The percentages of double-positive versus single-positive cells are indicated (n=3, **P<0.01 at 1 d after HI; at least 1000 cells were quantified per piglet per experiment)
