Blue light exposure impairs autophagy activated by TGF-β2 in HLE-B3 cells. A Western blot analysis presented the expressions of autophagy markers after treatment with TGF-β2 in the presence or absence of blue light exposure for 48 h. B Immunofluorescent staining of p62 and LC3 (red) in HLE-B3 cells after treatments above, in which the nuclei were labeled with DAPI (blue). C Autolysosomes (black arrows) containing various components was shown in treated HLE-B3 cells using transmission electron microscopy. Data were presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001
