Article Title: PDK1 inhibition reduces autophagy and cell senescence through the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway in a cigarette smoke mouse emphysema model
doi: 10.3892/etm.2023.11922
Figure Lengend Snippet: PI3K, PDK1, AKT, LC3B II and p16 protein expression levels. Western blotting for (A) PI3K, (B) PDK1, (C) AKT, (D) LC3B and (E) p16 expression in the airway epithelial tissues. GAPDH as an internal control. Semi-quantification of PI3K, PDK1, AKT, LC3B and p16 protein expression in airway epithelial tissues in each group. aP<0.05 vs. control. bP<0.05 vs. emphysema. The protein expression levels were expressed as the ratio of band intensity for the target protein relative to that for the internal control GAPDH. Values are expressed as the mean ± standard deviation. CS + CSE, emphysema group; CS3, PI3K inhibitor group; CS1, PDK1 inhibitor group; PDK1, phosphoinositide dependent protein kinase 1; p16, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A.
