Changes in activation of proteins in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MAPK pathways.

Notes: Expression of the components of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MAPK pathways were detected by Western blot in both 231 and 231/Gem.

Abbreviations: 231, human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231; 231/Gem, chemoresistant human breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231/gemcitabine; AKT, protein kinase B; ERK, extracellular signal-regulated kinase; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase; MAPK, mitogen-activated protein kinase; p, phosphorylated; PI3K, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin.
