Inhibition of Akt degradation partially rescues cell migration. A) Exponentially growing B16F10 cells were incubated with or without 100 µM resveratrol in the presence or absence of 50 µM Boc- D -Fmk for the designated time in serum-free media. Lysates were prepared and equal amounts of protein were subjected to SDS-PAGE, blotted and immuno-stained with anti-Pan Akt antibodies. GAPDH was stained as a loading control. Data from three separate experiments were quantified using Image-J software and presented relative to resveratrol at time zero. Mean values ± S.D. B) In a transwell assay, photomicrographs of 4 different fields were compiled. The number of cells were counted for the three conditions - DMSO, 100 µM resveratrol, and 100 µM resveratrol supplemented with 50 µM Boc-D –Fmk. The representative outcome from three separate experiments is shown. Mean values ± S.D.
