Article Title: Pro-apoptotic and pro-autophagic effects of the Aurora kinase A inhibitor alisertib (MLN8237) on human osteosarcoma U-2 OS and MG-63 cells through the activation of mitochondria-mediated pathway and inhibition of p38 MAPK/PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway

Figure Lengend Snippet: ALS modulates the expression of CDK2, CDC2, cyclin B1, p21 Waf1/Cip1, and p53 in U-2 OS and MG-63 cells. Notes: U-2 OS and MG-63 cells were treated with ALS at 0.1, 1, and 5 μM for 24 hours and then subjected to Western blotting assay. ( A ) Representative blots of CDK2, CDC2, cyclin B1, p21 Waf1/Cip1, and p53 and ( B ) bar graphs showing the relative expression levels of CDK2, CDC2, cyclin B1, p21 Waf1/Cip1, and p53 in U-2 OS and MG-63 cells. β-actin was used as the internal control. Data are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. * P <0.05; ** P <0.01; and *** P <0.001 by one-way ANOVA. Abbreviations: ALS, alisertib; SD, standard deviation; ANOVA, analysis of variance; CDK, cyclin-dependent kinase; OS, osteosarcoma.
