Knockdown of PI(3,5)P2 or transient receptor potential mucolipin-1 (TRPML1) inhibited mTOR/S6K signaling pathway and increased the protein levels of markers of the autophagy–lysosomal system after curcumin use in APP/PS1 mice. (A) The protein level of TRPML1 in APP/PS1 + CUR + Sh-TRPML1 group was decreased, and PI(3,5)P2 knockdown in APP/PS1 transgenic mice with curcumin treatment decreased the protein level of TRPML1 as compared to the APP/PS1 + CUR group. (B) Knockdown of PI(3,5)P2 or TRPML1 decreased the protein levels of p-mTOR and p-S6K after curcumin use in APP/PS1 mice. (C) Knockdown of PI(3,5)P2 or TRPML1 increased the protein levels of Beclin, LC3, and LAMP-1 after curcumin use in APP/PS1 mice. *p < 0.05 compared to the control. #p < 0.05 compared to the APP/PS1 group. &p < 0.05 compared to the APP/PS1 + CUR group.
