EMP2 and hepatocellular carcinoma: To further elucidate the correlation between EMP2, autophagy, and integrins in HCC, ATN-161, bafilomycin A1 (Baf.A1), and 3-methyladenine (3-MA) were added to HepG2 cells overexpressing EMP2, and the changes in cellular invasion capacities and their effects on related proteins were observed.
