Hydrogen Sulfide Inhibits Autophagic Neuronal Cell Death by Reducing Oxidative Stress in Spinal Cord Ischemia Reperfusion Injury

Figure 2

SCIR injury induces neuronal cell autophagy. (a) Western blots of p62, Atg12-Atg5, and LC3 in the spinal cord extracts from normal and I/R rats. Samples from six normal and six I/R rats were pooled together. (b) Densitometric analysis of the immunoblot reported in Figure 2(a). (c) Immunofluorescence analysis of LC3 in the spinal cord after I/R. This image represents six rats with I/R. Scale bar represent 10 μm. Arrows designate regions of 400x magnification shown in insets. . Data were analyzed using one-way ANOVA. Data represent three independent experiments. SCIR: spinal cord ischemia reperfusion; I/R: ischemia reperfusion; LC3: microtubule-associated protein 1 light chain 3.
