Rapamycin inhibits mTOR activity in vivo and promotes apoptosis in response to chemotherapy. A, lysates prepared from Eμ-myc/PTEN+/− tumors either left untreated (U) or 6 hours following in vivo treatment with doxorubicin (D), rapamycin (R), or doxorubicin and rapamycin (D + R), and probed for PTEN, phosphorylated and total Akt, and ribosomal S6 protein, and α-tubulin. B, representative micrographs of Eμ-myc/PTEN+/− tumors untreated or 18 hours after treatment with doxorubicin, rapamycin, or doxorubicin + rapamycin and stained with H&E or immunohistochemical probing detecting the phosphorylated forms of Akt and ribosomal S6 protein or TUNEL.
