Fig. 2: FASN promotes cancer progression through autophagy enhancement.

A–C Representative images (left) and the quantification (right) of Edu, colony formation and flow cytometry assay showing the growth and apoptotic rate of 143B and U2OS cells stably transfected with Ci-ATG5 or Ca-FASN or co-transfected with Ci-ATG5. D Immunofluorescence assay for the detection of the fluorescence intensity of cell proliferation protein (PCNA) and cellular anti-apoptotic protein (Bcl-xl) in 143B and U2OS cells stably transfected with Ci-ATG5 or Ca-FASN or co-transfected with Ci-ATG5. Scale bar: 50 µm *P < 0.05.
