UA-mediated upregulation of autophagy in cholangiocarcinoma cells. (A) HuCCT-1 and SSP-25 cells were treated with 20 μmol/L CQ and 40 μmol/L UA for 24 h Autophagy was detected by Western blotting for LC3-II. β-actin was used as an internal loading control. LC3-II levels were normalized against β-Actin and represented the means of three independent experiments. Bars, standard deviation; *P < 0.05; **P < 0.01. (B) Immunofluorescence for LC3 (green) was performed after the same treatment as shown in (A). Blue staining denotes DAPI-labeled nuclei. (C) Electron microscopy after the same treatment as shown in (A). N, nucleus; Mt, mitochondrion; AP, autophagosome; AL, autolysosome.
