Figure Lengend Snippet: Fig. 7 hCG intervention changes the level of autophagy in endometrial cells. A The mRNA expression levels of Beclin1, LC3-II and P62 in ESCs were stimulated by hCG for 72 h. B The protein expression levels of Beclin1, LC3 and P62 in ESCs were stimulated by hCG for 72 h. C Representative images of LC3-II in ESCs treated with hCG for 72 h. Scale: 50 μm. D The mRNA expression levels of Beclin1, LC3-II and P62 in ESCs after the knockdown of LHCGR. E The protein expression levels of Beclin1, LC3 and P62 in ESCs were stimulated by hCG and knockdown of LHCGR. Data were presented as mean ± SD (n = 3): *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
Article Snippet: They were then incubated for 30 min with 3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) to block nonspecific antibody binding and overnight at 4 °C with rabbit anti-LHCGR antibody (1:200 dilution; Proteintech) or rabbit anti-LC3 antibody (1:300 dilution; Proteintech).
Techniques: Expressing, Knockdown
