Fig 4. Atg7 siRNA enhances the inhibition of proliferation by blocking NVP-AEW541-induced autophagy in MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 cells.

Fig 4

(A) Atg7 siRNA blocked NVP-AEW541-induced autophagy in MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 cells, as assessed by western blotting. One representative from three independent experiments is shown. (B-D) Atg7 siRNA combined with NVP-AEW541 significantly suppressed the proliferation of MDA-MB-231 and BT-549 cells compared with NVP-AEW541 alone, as detected by EdU (B and C) and CCK-8 assays (D). Results were obtained from at least four independent experiments, and data are presented as the mean ± SD, *p<0.05, **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
