Evaluation of autophagy-related protein and transcript levels in Aag-2 cells after DENV infection. a Western blot results showing LC3-II protein level in Aag-2 cells after DENV infection. Aag-2 cells were infected with DENV and samples were collected after 1 and 2 days. The relative ratios of the density, calculated using ImageJ software, compared between the bands of LC3-II and β-actin are shown on the top of the blot. b Autophagy-related gene expression in Aag-2 cells at 1 and 2 days post-DENV infection by real-time PCR. Asterisk indicates a significant difference at P < 0.05 calculated by the Wilcoxon method. Abbreviations: ATG1 , Autophagy-related protein 1; C, control; DENV, dengue virus; LC3-I, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3; LC3-II, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3-phosphatidylethanolamine conjugate
