Figure 6. Dioscin induced autophagy through inhibition of PI3K/AKT pathways in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells.

Figure 6

(a–c) Effect of dioscin (0.4 μM) on the levels of phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells. (d,e) Effect of dioscin and/or PI3K/AKT inhibitor LY294002 on the levels of LC3 protein expression in MCF-7 and MCF-7/ADR cells. Cells were treated with dioscin (0.4 μM) or LY294002 (20 μM) for 24 h. Cell lysates were prepared and analyzed by Western blot analysis. ***p < 0.001, **p < 0.01 versus that obtained in the corresponding control group.
