From: Incomplete autophagy promotes the proliferation of Mycoplasma hyopneumoniae through the JNK and Akt pathways in porcine alveolar macrophages

Figure 1

M. hyopneumoniae infection increases the formation of autophagosome-like vesicles and the expression of autophagy-related proteins in porcine alveolar macrophages. A Autophagosome-like vesicles (arrows) were observed in M. hyopneumoniae-negative (a) and M. hyopneumoniae-positive (b) PAMs by TEM. Ten M. hyopneumoniae-negative and 10 M. hyopneumoniae-positive PAMs were assessed. B Autophagosome-like vesicles (arrows) were observed in mock-infected (a) or AH-infected (b) 3D4/21 cells by TEM. Ten uninfected and 10 AH-infected 3D4/21 cells were assessed. C Results of Western blotting showing the expression of autophagy-related proteins (LC3-II, Atg5, Atg12-Atg5, and Beclin 1) and Mhp366 in 30 M. hyopneumoniae-positive and 10 M. hyopneumoniae-negative PAMs collected from pigs. D Results of Western blotting showing the expression of autophagy-related proteins (LC3-II, Atg5, Atg12-Atg5, and Beclin 1) and P97 protein in 3D4/21 cells after mock infection or AH infection. Mean values from 3 independent experiments are presented. Between-group differences were assessed using a t test; *p ≤ 0.05, **p ≤ 0.01.
