Figure Lengend Snippet: A Western blot analysis of BAD, p-BAD S112 , p-BAD S136 and β-actin in HepG2 cells with or without PID1 overexpression upon Sorafenib (10 μM) treatment for 12 h. B Western blot analysis of AKT, p-AKT T308 and β-actin in HepG2 cells with or without PID1 overexpression upon Sorafenib (10 μM) treatment for 12 h. C Time-course analysis of p-AKT T308 levels in HepG2 cells with or without PID1 overexpression upon Sorafenib (10 μM) treatment. D HepG2 cells with or without PID1 overexpression were pretreated with Sorafenib (10 μM) for 3 h and then treated with insulin (10 nM) for 0.25 h. Western blot analysis of AKT, p-AKT T308 and β-actin was performed. E Hep3B cells with or without PID1 deficiency were pretreated with Sorafenib (10 μM) for 3 h and then treated with IGF-1 (50 ng/mL) treatment for 0.25 h. Western blot analysis of AKT, p-AKT T308 , BAD, p-BAD S136 and β-actin was performed. F Cell apoptosis in Hep3B with or without PID1 knockout upon Sorafenib (10 μM) treatment for 24 h in the presence of AKT inhibitor VIII (10 μM) was examined by cytometry analysis. Data are expressed as mean ± SD ( n = 3). * p < 0.05; ** p < 0.01; *** p < 0.001; ns not significant.
