Autophagy activation enhances TGF-β2-induced EMT in HLE-B3 cells. A-B Western blot analysis showed the expressions of autophagy markers (A) and EMT markers (B) after treatments with 200 nM rapamycin in the presence or absence of TGF-β2 or/and blue light exposure for 48 h. C Cell migration abilities were determined by transwell migration assays after administration of rapamycin, TGF-β2 and blue light exposure. D Number of migrated cells in transwell migration assays was quantified. Data were presented as mean ± SD. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, and ***P < 0.001
