Fig. 2: Inhibition of autophagy in MYOCD-knockdown cells restored the expression of contractile proteins.

HA-VSMCs were transfected with shMYOCD plasmid for 4 h and then treated with 5 mM 3-MA for another 48 h. Western blot images and quantification in each group were shown (*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, n = 3).
