Figure Lengend Snippet: Activating P53 signaling abrogates the protection of acacetin against loperamide‐induced apoptosis. (A) P53 transcriptional activity analysis after Nutlin‐3a treatment. (B) Immunoblotting of phospho‐P53 and phospho‐AKT1 levels. (C) Cell viability analysis by CCK‐8 assay showing abrogation of the protective effect of acacetin by Nutlin‐3a. (D) TUNEL staining demonstrating Nutlin‐3a abolishes the suppression of acacetin on loperamide‐induced apoptosis. N = 3 independent experiments. * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; **** p < 0.0001.
