Post-injury administration of pifithrin (PFT)-α at 5 h after a traumatic brain injury (TBI) reduced levels of Beclin-1, light chain (LC)3-II and p62 expression in striatal tissues at 24 h. Levels of Beclin-1 (A), LC3 (B) and p62 (C) expression in striatal tissues from the Sham + Veh, Sham + PFT-α, TBI + Veh, and TBI + PFT-α groups were analyzed by Western blotting. Levels of Beclin-1, LC3I, LC3II and p62 expression were normalized to β-actin and then quantified. Data are expressed as the mean ± SD (n = 4 per group). *P < 0.05 and ***P < 0.001 vs. Sham + Veh group; +P < 0.05 and ++P < 0.01 vs. TBI + Veh group.
