Fig 1. Autophagy is activated by Ge and inhibited by 3-MA or Baf.A in TNBC cells.

Cells were exposed with 3-MA (10 mM) and Baf.A (1 nM) alone or with gefitinb (5 μM) for 48 hours, and the inhibitory were confirmed by immunofluorescence staining. LC3 puncta in the cells were detected by immunofluorescence under confocal laser microscopy in MDA-MB-231 (A) and MDA-MB-468 (B).
