Effects of PI3K inhibitor (LY294002) and MEK inhibitor (U0126) on apoptosis induction and Akt phosphorylation of HER2-overexpressing and low-expressing cancer cell lines. (A) Apoptosis induction by LY294002. Cells were plated at 1 × 104 cells per 96-well dish and LY294002 concentrations of 0 μM (□), 10 μM (░), 50 μM (▪) were added 1 day after seeding and cultured for 24 h. Apoptosis was measured with caspase 3/7 assay. (B) Apoptosis induction by U0126 at concentrations of 0 μM (□), 10 μM (░), 50 μM (▪). (C) Inhibition of Akt phosphorylation by LY294002. Cells were plated at 1 × 104 cells per 96-well dish in the presence of 10% FBS and 1 day after seeding, LY294002 at respective concentrations of 0 μM (□), 10 μM (░), 50 μM (▪) were added and cultured for 2 h. Phosphorylated Akt (pAkt) and total Akt (T Akt) were measured with AKT 473 ELISA Kit. NS, not significant; *P<0.01; **P<0.001 (vs control). Bars=s.e.
