Dorsal Root Ganglion Maintains Stemness of Bone Marrow Mesenchymal Stem Cells by Enhancing Autophagy through the AMPK/mTOR Pathway in a Coculture System

Figure 6

Compound C treatment downregulated autophagy and stem cell-related genes in the coculture group. (a) Western blot analysis of LC3II and LC3I after treatment with compound C. (b) Analysis of LC3II/LC3I among the three groups. (c) Stem cell-related gene expression after treatment with compound C. denotes that differences are statistically significant between two groups. Compound C alone did not change the autophagy level or stemness genes of BMSCs (Fig S1).
