(A) A representative western blot band of Akt in cells treated with proteasome inhibitor MG132 and autophagy inhibitor chloroquine (CQ). (B) Quantitative analysis of Akt levels in (A). (C) A representative western blot band of Akt in Atg5/7 knockdown cells. (D) Quantitative analysis of Akt levels in (C). Data are means ± SEM. (n = 4). ** p<0.01 vs DMSO control. ## p<0.01 vs curcumin-treated group.
