[Retracted] Minocycline Induces Autophagy and Inhibits Cell Proliferation in LPS-Stimulated THP-1 Cells

Figure 5

An intimate crosstalk between the NF-κB pathway and autophagy flux in LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells. (a) THP-1 cells were preincubated with 5 μm BAY11-7082 for 1 h followed by 1 μg/ml LPS for the indicated time. NF-κB and phospho-NF-κB were assessed by western blotting. (b) Expression of phospho-NF-κB relative to NF-κB. Data represented as the (, vs. LPS 30 or 60). (c) BAY11-7082 significantly suppressed TNF-α production in LPS-stimulated THP-1 cells treated with minocycline. Data represented as the (, ). (d) THP-1 cells were preincubated with 5 μm BAY11-7082 for 1 h followed by 1 μg/ml LPS with or without minocycline for 12 h. LC3s in cell lysate from different treatment groups were assessed by western blotting. (e) Expression of LC3-II relative to LC3-I. Data were represented as the (, vs. LPS, ^▲ vs. LPS+Mino). (f) THP-1 cells were preincubated with 5 μm BAY11-7082 or 20 μM CQ for 1 h followed with 1 μg/ml LPS for 12 h. NF-κB and LC3 were assessed by western blotting. (g) Expression of LC3-II relative to LC3-I and NF-κB relative to actin. Data were represented as the (, , ). BAY: BAY11-7082; Mino: minocycline; Ctrl: control; CQ: chloroquine.
