Real-time PCR assay and western blotting (a, b). Measuring the effect of autophagy modulation on the differentiation capacity of human bone marrow CD146+ cells via real-time PCR assay (a; n = 3). Data demonstrated that autophagy stimulation increased the mRNA level of endothelial VE-cadherin, cardiac cTnI, and pericyte α-SMA after autophagy stimulation compared to non-treated CD146+cells (a). Western blotting assays were used to monitor lineage protein levels after autophagy modulation (b; n = 3). One-way ANOVA and Tukey post hoc test. *p < 0.05; **p < 0.01; ***p < 0.001; and ****p < 0.0001
