Inhibition of B7-H4 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma cell apoptosis and autophagy through the PI3K signaling pathway.

B7-H4 and autophagy can regulate or be induced by the PI3K signaling pathway. However, the association between B7-H4 and autophagy in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)remains unclear. The aim of this work was to investigate whether B7-H4 regulates autophagy via the PI3K signaling pathway in HCC cells.
