Cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry assay and western blot assay. The effects of PG or SNAREs on cell autophagy were measured by autophagy flux assay and western blot assay.

Mechanistically, PG inhibits the fusion of autophagosomes and lysosomes by blocking STX17 and SNAP29, components of soluble N-ethyl-maleimide-sensitive factor attachment protein receptors (SNAREs)complex. When STX17 and SNAP29 were overexpressed, the inhibitory effect of PG on CCA cells autophagy was relieved.
