Figure Lengend Snippet: A The effect of matrine on Src kinase activity in cancer cells, including HT-29, MCF7, A549, BxPC-3, SKOV3, and HeLa, were determined according to the instructions of Src kinase activity detection kit. Results are representative of three experiments (* P < 0.05, ** P < 0.01). B , C Schematic diagram of matrine and ATP bound to Src kinase domain. Matrine (green) and ATP (bule) molecules were depicted as the ball-and-stick models. D Dose–response curves of matrine against Src kinase at various ATP concentrations. Data are the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. E HT-29, MCF7, A549, BxPC-3, SKOV3, and HeLa cells were exposed to matrine at its optimal concentrations for 24 h, respectively. The effects of matrine on the p-Src (Tyr419) were analyzed by western blot, respectively. β-Actin was used as a control.
