Reduction of autophagic flux in Sal-treated SK-Mel-19 cells. (a) Samples from DMSO-treated control and Sal-treated (1.0 μM) cells immunoblotted for P62 (*p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; n = 3). (b) Immunofluorescent assay showed the expression of P62 in SK-Mel-19 cells treated with or without 1.0 μM Sal for 24 h. (c) The expression level of P62 was examined by immunohistochemical analysis in 10 mg/kg Sal-treated SK-Mel-19 tumor xenograft. (d) Samples treated with 1.0 μM Sal for the indicated period of time or MG132 (5 μM) for 6 h or CQ (6.25 μM) for 6 h immunoblotted for ubiquitinated proteins. (e) SK-Mel-19 cells was treated with Sal alone, inhibitor alone, or their combination for 24 h. Level of protein expression of LC3B was measured by western blot analysis (**p < 0.01; n = 3).
