Dkk1 promoted autophagy of endometrial stromal cells. (A) After silencing DKK1 in primary endometrial stromal cells (PESC) and endometrial stromal cells immortalized cell lines (T-HESCS), western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of DKK1,LC3-II, ATG7 and P62 proteins. (B)After knock out of DKK1 in primary endometrial stromal cells (PESC) and endometrial stromal cells immortalized cell lines (T-HESCS), western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of DKK1,LC3-II, ATG7 and P62 proteins. (C) After ectopic expression of DKK1 in primary endometrial stromal cells (PESC) and endometrial stromal cells immortalized cell lines (T-HESCS), western blot analysis was performed to detect the expression of DKK1,LC3-II, ATG7 and P62 proteins. Error bars represent the standard error. The symbols * and ** indicate p < 0.05 and 0.01, respectively
