Progesterone Increases Apoptosis and Inversely Decreases Autophagy in Human Hepatoma HA22T/VGH Cells Treated with Epirubicin

Figure 5

Western blotting shows Beclin-1 and LC3-I expressions in HA22T/VGH cells after epirubicin and/or progesterone treatment for 24 h. Results are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation (S.D.) for three separate experiments. C: untreated cells, E0.3: 0.3 μM epirubicin, and P30: 30 μM progesterone. compared to the untreated controls. # compared to epirubicin-treated group.
