CSP7 mitigates autophagy dysregulation in 8X-BLM-induced PF. (A) Representative western blot images showing the expression of p53, p53S15P, LC3BII, p62 and ATG12-ATG5 in lung homogenates of CSP7 treated WT mice (n = 5) with 8X-BLM-induced existing PF. β-actin serves as loading control. MW: Molecular weight. kDa: Kilodalton. (B) Bar graph showing increased expression of LC3B, p62 and ATG5 mRNA in the lungs of 8X-BLM-PF WT mice, which is inhibited upon CSP7 treatment. Representative immunohistochemistry images showing inhibition of (C) LC3B and (D) p62 expression by CSP7 in lungs of WT mice with 8X-BLM-PF. Scale bar: 20 μm. (E) Representative immunoblot images showing inhibition of p53, p53S15P, LC3BII, p62 and ATG12-ATG5 expression in AECs isolated from WT mice with 8X-BLM-induced existing PF treated with CSP7 in vivo. β-actin serves as loading control. MW: Molecular weight. kDa: Kilodalton. Each experiment was repeated at least 2–3 times and data is presented as mean + SD and p values were obtained by one-way Anova with Turkey’s multiple comparison test and log-rank tests, respectively.
