Figure 5.
Effect of simvastatin on expression of PTEN. (A) MDA-MB-231 breast cancer cells were incubated with 10 μM simvastatin for 24 hours. The cell lysates were immunoblotted with anti-PTEN and anti-tubulin antibodies as indicated. (B) Tumor lysates from independent control and independent simvastatin-treated mice were immunoblotted with PTEN and actin antibodies respectively. (C) Quantification of PTEN expression in panel B. Mean ± SE of four independent animals is shown. *p < 0.01 vs. control.
