Figure 1. VPS35 D620N inhibits autophagy.

(A) Transgenic and endogenous VPS35 were evaluated by western blot. RA-differentiated SH-SY5Y cells stably expressing transgenic VPS35 (WT or D620N) were treated with or without bafilomycin A1. (B) Western blot of LC3-II was performed and (C) autophagic flux was quantified. Total protein loading was confirmed with β-Actin expression obtained from the same membrane. Results from three independent experiments are displayed (*p<0.05 compared to indicated group, student’s t-test; error bars = SEM).
