Fig. 5. 1, 4-BQ induced autophagy and apoptosis by enhancing phosphorylation of Bcl-2 at Ser70 site and phosphorylation of beclin1 at Thr119 site.
a–d The NQO1, Bcl-2, beclin1, and p62 were measured using ELISA assay after oxidative stress inhibitor(NAC) treatment. e–k Western blotting was used to analyze the level of phosphorylation of Bcl-2 at Ser70 site, phosphorylation of beclin1 at Thr119 site and autophagy- and apoptosis-associated proteins. Data are represented in the form of mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 compared to control group. #p < 0.05 compared to 20 μM 1,4-BQ-treated group. l The image of immunofluorescence was analyzed by Image J. Data are represented in the form of mean ± SD. *p < 0.05 compared to control group. #p < 0.05 compared to 20 μM 1,4-BQ-treated group
