Fig. 3From: Ozone induces autophagy by activating PPARγ/mTOR in rat chondrocytes treated with IL-1βO3 increased the level of autophagy of chondrocytes treated with IL-1β. A Western blot for the protein expression of LC3 II, P62 and β-actin in each group. B The levels of LC3 II and P62 were measured by immunofluorescence at magnifications of 40×. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 versus Control group; #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01 versus IL-1β group; ΔP < 0.05, ΔΔP < 0.01 versus IL-1β + O3 groupBack to article page
