[Retracted] Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Hepatocyte-Derived lncRNA MALAT1 Aggravates Pancreatic Cell Inflammation via the Inhibition of Autophagy by Upregulating YAP

Figure 4

MALAT1 further inhibits autophagy by promoting YAP and eventually exacerbates AP. (a, b) The relative expression of MALAT1 in AR42J pancreatic cells transfected with MALAT1 and si-MALAT1 were examined using qRT-PCR assay. vs. NC/si-NC group. (c) Levels of IL-6 and TNF-α was detected by ELISA assay in AR42J pancreatic cells treated with caerulein and/or transfected with MALAT1 and si-MALAT1. and vs. NC group; vs. Caerulein group. (d, e) The relative protein expression of LC3II and LC3I was measured by the western blot assay. (f) The levels of IL-6 and TNF-α were determined utilizing ELISA assay. vs. NC group; vs. MALAT1 group.
