hCG intervention changes the level of autophagy in endometrial cells. A The mRNA expression levels of Beclin1, LC3-II and P62 in ESCs were stimulated by hCG for 72 h. B The protein expression levels of Beclin1, LC3 and P62 in ESCs were stimulated by hCG for 72 h. C Representative images of LC3-II in ESCs treated with hCG for 72 h. Scale: 50 μm. D The mRNA expression levels of Beclin1, LC3-II and P62 in ESCs after the knockdown of LHCGR. E The protein expression levels of Beclin1, LC3 and P62 in ESCs were stimulated by hCG and knockdown of LHCGR. Data were presented as mean ± SD (n = 3): *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01
