Figure Lengend Snippet: Peimine induces apoptosis in GBM cells through regulation of the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. (A) Western blot analysis of p53, Bax, Bcl-2, Caspase 3 and Cleaved-Caspase 3 expression in peimine-treated U87 cells. (B) Semi-quantifcation of (A). (C) Western blot analysis of PI3K, p-PI3K, AKT and p-AKT protein levels in peimine-treated U87 cells. (D) Semi-quantification of (C). Cells were pretreated with 0 and 25 µM peimine (E) with or without SC79 pretreatment for 1 h or (F) with or without MK2206 pretreatment for 24 h, before viability was evaluated using an MTT assay. Data were analyzed using a one-way ANOVA followed by a Tukey's post-hoc test. * P<0.05, ** P<0.01, *** P<0.001 and **** P<0.0001 vs. control. p-, phosphorylated.
