Schematic illustration of study design (a). MTT assay (b); Measuring CD146+ cell survival rate by MTT assay after exposure to different doses of HCQ (n = 16). Our data illustrated that 15-μM HCQ is the optimum dose for autophagy inhibition in CD146+ cells with a minimal toxic effect. LysoTracker Green staining (c–e). Fluorescence microscopy imaging confirmed that 15-μM HCQ inhibited autophagic flux (c, d (n = 100 cells) and e (n = 100 cells)). Data are expressed as mean ± SD. One-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01
