Knockdown of LETM1 regulates autophagy and apoptosis through activating AMPK. (A, B) Western blot analysis of the expressions of autophagic associated proteins (Beclin1, p62, and LC3), apoptotic-related proteins (p-Bcl-2, Bcl-2, Bax, caspase-3), LETM1, and AMPK in LETM1-knockdown along with AMPK inhibitor Huh7 and QGY-7701 cell lines. #p < 0.05, ##p < 0.01, ###p < 0.001 means dorsomorphin versus LETM1 shRNA+dorsomorphin group; &p < 0.05, &&p < 0.01, means LETM1 shRNA group versus LETM1 shRNA+dorsomorphin group.
