Figure Lengend Snippet: Figure 5 Rescue of functional peroxisomes by late autophagy inhibitor chloroquine and genetic knockdown of NBR1. A. Immu- noblot analysis of homogenates prepared from primary fibroblasts of the 2 heterozygous PEX14 patients (patient 1 (P1) and patient 2 (P2)), 1 previously reported PEX14-null patient (PEX14(2)), and 2 control individuals (C1 and C2) cultured at 37 ◦C and 40 ◦C. Cells were incubated with 10 μM chloroquine (CQ) for 7 days. Immunoblots were stained with antibodies against the peroxisomal matrix protein thiolase, the peroxisomal membrane protein ABCD1, the autophagy adaptor protein SQSTM1/P62 (P62), MAPILC3B (LC3I and LC3II), and, as loading control, tubulin. Performed in triplicate; shown are representative immunoblots. B. Percentage of patients’ cells with catalase- or ABCD3- stained peroxisomes when cultured at 37 ◦C (white bars), or 7 days at 40 ◦C in the absence (dashed bars) or presence (stippled bars) of 10 mM CQ. Cells were examined with immunofluorescence microscopy to determine the subcellular location of the peroxisomal matrix protein catalase and the peroxisomal membrane protein ABCD3 (for examples, see Supplemental Figure 2). Performed in quadruplicate; for each condition 100 cells were examined (total of 400 cells) (Two-way anova with Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, P = .0332, indicated by *,
