Down-regulated miR-18a promotes the hypoxia-induced H9c2 cell autophagy by promoting BDNF expression. a The number of autophagosomes induced by hypoxia quantified by immunofluorescence (×400); b the protein expression of BDNF and autophagy-related proteins (Beclin1, LC3-II/I and p62) determined by western blot analysis. The data were measurement data and expressed as mean ± standard error. Comparison was conducted by one-way analysis of variance among multiple groups. Each experiment was repeated 3 times; *p < 0.05 vs. the NC group; #p < 0.05 vs. the miR-18a inhibitor group
