Fig. 6. Role of IL-1β on the induction of autophagy triggered by Mtb H3.

Fig. 6

Macrophages were infected with the Mtb H3 and H37Rv strains. After 2 h, uninfected and infected cells were treated with an IL-1β receptor antagonist or left untreated. After 20 h, cells were incubated with E64d + PepA to inhibit lysosome activity or left untreated. Autophagy levels were analyzed by evaluating LC3 and p62 expression by immunoblotting. GAPDH levels were analyzed to verify protein amount loading (upper panels). LC3-II/GAPDH ratios were quantified by densitometric analysis using the ImageQuant software. Each point value represents the mean ± SD from three independent experiments (lower panel)
