450-nm laser/DVDMS-mediated PDT induced autophagy flux in GC cells. A Representative fluorescence images of autophagy dots in GC cells after the treatment of 24 h. Scale bar = 10 μm. B Quantitative analysis of A (n = 3, mean ± SD). C Typical TEM images of the autophagic vacuoles (indicated by the red arrow) after PDT for 24 h. D Western blotting analysis of the expression levels of autophagy-related proteins after the treatment of 24 h. E Quantitative analysis of D (n = 3, mean ± SD). F Western blotting analysis of the effect of inhibitor CQ for 4 h on autophagy. G Quantitative analysis of F (n = 3, mean ± SD). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, and ***p < 0.001
