(A) Immunohistochemical staining of LC3 in a representative human term placental villus sample. Scale bar: 100 μm. Inset bar: 10 μM. (B) Western blot detection and quantification of LC3 levels in BeWo CTBs and STBs. (C) Immunofluorescent localization of the autophagy marker LC3 (green punctae) (arrow). Dashed line outlines STBs, solid lines outline CTBs. Blue, DAPI. Scale bar: 10 μm. Data are expressed as mean ± SEM.*P < 0.05 using Kruskal-Wallis test with Dunnett’s post-test.
