Figure Lengend Snippet: Inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway activation in A549 and Beas2B cells by PIN. (A–C) A549 and Beas2B cells were treated with TGF-β1 (5 ng/mL) in the presence of varying concentrations of PIN (1, 2.5, and 5 μM) for a duration of 48 h. Subsequently, cell lysates were harvested and subjected to western blot analysis to evaluate the expression levels of PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt, and p-Akt. Mean ± standard deviation; n = 3; compared to the control group, ## P < 0.01, and # P < 0.05; compared to the model group, ** P < 0.01, and * P < 0.05; ns indicates no statistically significant difference. (D–F) Examination of the Impact of SC79 and LY294002 on the PI3K/Akt Pathway in A549 and Beas2B Cells. Cells were exposed to SC79 (20 μM) and LY294002 (10 μM) along with 5 μM PIN for a period of 48 h. Following this treatment, cell lysates were obtained and analyzed for the expression of PI3K, p-PI3K, Akt, and p-Akt using western blotting techniques. Mean ± standard deviation; n = 3; compared to the control group, ## P < 0.01, and # P < 0.05; compared to the SC79 group, ** P < 0.01, and * P < 0.05; ns indicates no statistically significant difference.
