GRASP55 regulates AIM2 unconventional secretion and autophagy activity. (A) Immunoprecipitation for AIM2 was conducted to detect the integration of GRASP55 or GRASP65. (B,C) Confocal images of AIM2 (green) and GRASP55 (red) (B) and overlap coefficient (C) in H2O2-treated NP cells. (D) Knockdown of GRASP55 in NP cells and corresponding western blot images of GRASP55 and AIM2. (E) Quantification of AIM2 and GRASP55 in H2O2-treated NP cells with si-GRASP55 or si-scr. (F) Extracellular levels of AIM2 measured by ELISA analysis. (G,H) Protein levels (G) and quantification (H) of GRASP55, LC3 and p62 in H2O2-treated NP cells with si-GRASP55 or si-scr. Data were presented as the means ± SD, n = 3. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001 vs. control group. (I) TEM images of NP cells showed the autophagosomes (red arrows) and other irregular intracellular vesicles (blue arrows).
