ROF suppresses IL-1β–induced autophagy downregulation in chondrocytes. (A) Western blots and (B) quantitative analysis of ATG5, ATG12, Beclin-1, P62-sequestosome and LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ in each group. (C) Fluorescence microscopy and (D) quantitative analysis of cells transfected with tandem GFP-RFP-LC3 adenovirus in each group. (E) TEM images and (F) quantitative analysis of autophagosomes in each group. Red arrow indicated autophagosome. GAPDH was employed as the internal control (n = 3). #p < 0.05 vs. control group; *p < 0.05 vs. IL-1β group.
