A H460 cells were transfected with pDs-Red-Mito for 24 h, followed by infection with Ad-GFP-LC3 and Ad-LacZ or Ad-LETM1 for 24 h. For the positive control, cells were treated with 30 μM CCCP for 8 h. These confocal images are representative of three independent experiments. Scale bars represent 10 μm or 5 μm. B Merged GFP-LC3 and Red-Mito signals from puncta in H460 cells were counted in each condition (n = 40). The results are displayed as mean ± SD and are representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, versus the control Ad-LacZ samples, #p < 0.05, control Ad-LETM1 versus CCCP Ad-LETM1 sample. C H460 cells were transfected with mt-keima for 24 h, followed by infection with Ad-LacZ or Ad-LETM1 for 24 h. Next, these cells are treated CCCP for 8 h. These FACS analysis are representative of three independent experiments. The results are displayed as mean ± SD and are representative of three independent experiments. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01, versus the control Ad-LacZ samples, #p < 0.05, control Ad-LETM1 versus CCCP Ad-LETM1 sample. D H460 cells were transfected with mt-keima for 24 h, followed by infection with Ad-LacZ or Ad-LETM1 for 24 h. Next, these cells are treated CCCP for 8 h. These cells are analyzed by confocal microscope. Scale bars represent 10 μm or 3.5 μm. E Ad-LacZ or Ad-LETM1-infected H460 cells were analyzed by transmission electron microscopy. Scale bars represent 0.5 μm. Arrowheads: mitochondria; N: nucleus; black arrows: autophagosomes; white arrows: ER.
