In addition, apelin-13 significantly inhibited excessive autophagy by regulating the expression of LC3B, p62, and Beclin1. Furthermore, the expression of Bcl-2 and the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway was markedly increased. Both LY294002 (20 μM) and rapamycin (500 nM), which are inhibitors of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, significantly attenuated the inhibition of autophagy and apoptosis caused by apelin-13. In conclusion, the findings of the present study suggest that Bcl-2
