This is in response to the Letter to the Editor
Dear editor
Thank you for your valuable comments on the paper. For the control problem, we made a blank control in the experiment, namely the control in the paper. Meanwhile, we also tested the indexes of the cells treated by the single autophagy inhibitor CQ and the p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580. The results do not affect the final results and conclusions of the paper, but due to the space, we did not write the relevant results in the paper. In further studies we will add appropriate negative controls.
