SCU upregulates the expression of the autophagy factor Beclin 1. (a) SCU upregulated the mRNA expression of Beclin 1 by RT-qPCR assay. (b) SCU upregulated the protein expression of Beclin 1 by western blot assay. (c) SCU upregulated the protein expression of Beclin 1 by HIC assay. The values shown are the mean ± standard error of the mean (SEM) of the data from three independent experiments. ^#Significant compared with the control group alone, P < 0.05. ^∗Significant compared with the model group alone, P < 0.05.
