Figure 6. BPIS attenuated inflammatory responses in colon cell xenograft tumor models.
Colon cancer cells were implanted subcutaneously in the right flank of male nude mice. (A) Western blot analysis. Effects of BPIS on expression of p-Akt, NF-κB-p65 and inflammatory cytokines protein levels. Columns were expressed as mean±SEM (n = 3, *p<0.05 vs. control). (B) Relative gene expression levels were normalized to GAPDH expression levels by qRT-PCR. (C) Immunohistochemical analysis of the expression of Akt phosphorylation and NF-κB-p65 in colon cancer tissues by BPIS treatment group or control group. (D) Columns were expressed as mean±SEM (n = 3, *p<0.05 vs. control). (E) qRT-PCR analysis of miR-149 in vivo. Data were presented as mean ± SEM (n=10, *p<0.05 vs. control).
