H2S decreases H2O2-induced occurrence of autophagy in ARPE-19 cells. (a) ARPE-19 cells were pretreated with NaHS for 30 min and then treated with H2O2 for 1 h. The protein expression and transform of LC3 I and LC3 II in ARPE-19 cells were analyzed by Western blot. The quantitative analyses of LC3 I/GAPDH, LC3 II/GAPDH, and LC3 II/LC3 I are shown (b–d). (e) Detection of intracellular autophagic vesicles by TEM after being pretreated with NaHS for 30 min and then treated with H2O2 for 24 h. Scale . Values are the . versus the control group; # versus the H2O2 treatment alone group.
