The Autophagy Level Is Increased in the Synovial Tissues of Patients with Active Rheumatoid Arthritis and Is Correlated with Disease Severity

<div>Localization and expression level of beclin1, Atg5, and LC3 in RA synovial tissues. Immunohistochemical analyses of beclin1, Atg5, and LC3 localization in RA synovium. Synovial tissues from RA and OA patients were stained with anti-beclin1 antibodies (a and b), anti-Atg5 antibodies (c and d), anti-LC3 antibodies (e and f), H&amp;E staining (g and h), or anti-rabbit IgG antibodies as a nonimmune control (i and j). Magnification 200x.</div>
