Qiyusanlong Formula Induces Autophagy in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer Cells and Xenografts through the mTOR Signaling Pathway

Figure 3

QYSL formula induced autophagy in A549 cells by inhibiting the mTOR pathway. (a) Representative images of western blot bands showing protein levels in A549 cells treated with QYSL serum in the absence or presence of RAPA for 24 h. (b) The densitometry values of western blot bands in A549 cells treated with QYSL serum in the absence or presence of RAPA were normalized to β-actin and represented as relative intensity. (c) Representative images of western blot showing protein levels in A549 cells treated with QYSL serum in the absence or presence of MHY1485 for 24 h. (d) The densitometry values of western blot bands in A549 cells that were treated with QYSL serum in the presence or absence of MHY1485 were normalized to β-actin and represented as relative intensity. and vs. the control group. vs. the QYSL group. vs. the RAPA group.
