Fig. 3From: Salidroside attenuates hypoxia-induced pulmonary arterial smooth muscle cell proliferation and apoptosis resistance by upregulating autophagy through the AMPK-mTOR-ULK1 pathwayEnhanced autophagy flux may be involved in the effects of salidroside on PASMC proliferation and apoptosis resistance under hypoxic conditions. After transfection with tfLC3, PASMCs were exposed to hypoxia and treated with MHY1485, rapamycin or salidroside; next, the cells were observed under a fluorescence microscope. *p < 0.05 vs. the N group; and #p < 0.05 vs. the H groupBack to article page
