Blocking Autophagic Flux Enhances Matrine-Induced Apoptosis in Human Hepatoma Cells
Autophagy, a self-defense mechanism, has been found to be associated with drug resistance in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Our study was designed to investigate the role and related mechanisms of autophagy in matrine-induced apoptosis in hepatoma cells of HepG2 and Bel7402. Cell apoptosis was dete...
