The effects of 4-PSB-2 on the autophagy markers expression in oAβ1-42-induced ARPE-19 cells. The experimental design is shown in Figure 3A. (A) The expressions of BECLIN 1, LC3B I, LC3B II, and p62 in ARPE-19 cells were assessed by Western blotting. (B–E) Quantitative analysis of the expressions of BECLIN 1, LC3B I, LC3B II, and p62 in ARPE-19 cells treated with the 4-PSB-2 and/or oAβ1-42. (B–D) The expression levels of BECLIN 1, LC3B I, and LC3B II were not significantly different between the groups after oAβ1-42 and/or 4-PSB-2 treatment. (E) The expression of p62 in the oAβ1-42 group was significantly decreased compared to the control group but was not rescued by 4-PSB-2 treatment. The results were plotted as means ± SEMs, * indicates p ≤ 0.05 between the groups.
