Autophagy related protein 9A increase in hepatitis B virus-associated hepatocellular carcinoma and the role in apoptosis

Figure 4 Apoptosis assays of HepG2 and HepG2. 2.15 transfected with sh-autophagy related protein 9A or shNeg (control). A: Cells were transiently transfected with shRNA plasmids for 72 h and then cultured in starvation medium for 4 h; B: Bar graphs showing the percentage of total apoptotic cells detected by Annexin V binding. Data represent the mean ± standard error from the three independent experiments. ATG9A: Autophagy related protein 9A.
