Fig. 5

AFSC mediate activation of autophagy in response to cisplatin-induced acute renal failure. a Representative immunoblots showing the expression of the autophagic proteins, viz, phospho-AMPK, phospho-p70S6K, ATG5, ATG7, Beclin1, LC3B, and p62, in kidney tissues of healthy control, saline-treated, and AFSC-treated groups on day 8 and day 12 after cisplatin injection. b Bar diagrams showing semi-quantitative densitometric analysis for comparison of autophagic protein expression by referring each gene to GAPDH which was taken as internal control. Values expressed as mean ± SE of three independent blots (*p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001)
