Figure Lengend Snippet: Gin A activates AMPK and suppresses mTOR/S6K1 signaling in A10 cells (A) Concentration-dependent effects of Gin A on AMPK phosphorylation. A10 cells were treated with Gin A at 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 μM for 24 h, and p-AMPK/AMPK ratios were determined by Western blot. (B) Time course of AMPK activation by Gin A. Cells were exposed to Gin A (10 μM) for 0.5, 1, 3, 6 or 24 h, and p-AMPK/AMPK levels were determined by Western blot. (C) Effects of Gin A on mTOR phosphorylation. A10 cells were treated with Gin A at 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 μM for 24 h, and p-mTOR/mTOR ratios were determined by Western blot. (D) Effects of Gin A on S6K1 phosphorylation. A10 cells were treated with Gin A at 0.1, 1, 10 or 100 μM for 24 h, and p-S6K1/S6K1 ratios determined by Western blot (n = 6; * P < 0.05 vs. control).
Article Snippet: A10 cells were co-treated with Gin A and the pharmacological AMPK inhibitor Compound C (HY-13418A, MCE, United States) under HG (30 mM) stimulation.
