Fig. 4

A Mice underwent either no surgical manipulations (NORM), sham surgery (SHAM), or unilateral nephrectomy (UNX). Each mouse was treated with either vehicle (VEH) or BafA1 (BAF) and after 2 h the contralateral kidney was harvested. B Immunoblot analysis of LC3-II and p62 in the kidney with representative densitometry is demonstrated (n = 9 per group). Immunoblots were corrected for the endogenous control, GAPDH. RDU = relative densitometry units corrected for GAPDH. C Immunofluorescence analysis of punctate LC3B, LAMP2, and p62 per tubule in the kidney with quantification showing readings in duplicate for each mouse. RFU = relative fluorescence units. D Transmission electron microscopy for autophagosomes with quantification is demonstrated (arrows=autophagosome). Autophagosomes are quantified per 10 µm2 field. Scale Bar = 500 nm. **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, #P < 0.0001.
