Autophagy and Human Parturition: Evaluation of LC3 Expression in Placenta from Spontaneous or Medically Induced Onset of Labor

Figure 1

Localization of LC3, CRF, and HIF-1α by immunohistochemical method. The immunohistochemical staining shows that LC3, CRF, and HIF-1α have an overlapping localization in villous and extravillous trophoblast. d: decidua; v: villi; DeVe: decidual vessel. ((a) and (b) Immunohistochemical LC3 expression, original magnification 10x and 40x, respectively; (c) and (d) Immunohistochemical CRF expression, original magnification 10x and 40x, respectively; (e) and (f) Immunohistochemical HIF-1α staining, original magnification 10x and 40x, resp.) Images obtained from SP case.
