Scutellarin enhanced cisplatin-induced apoptosis through the ERK1/2-mediated p53 signaling pathways. (A) Western blot analysis of p53 protein in A549/DDP cells treated by cisplatin, or scutellarin, or the combination. (B) The effect of p53 inhibitor PFT on p53, caspase-3, cleaved caspase-3 and PARP expression levels was measured by western blot analysis. (C,D) Flow cytometric analysis showing apoptosis in cells treated by cisplatin plus scutellarin, or PFT, or the combination. (E) The expression of p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2 were determined by western blot analysis. (F) The level of p-ERK1/2, ERK1/2, p53 in A549/DDP cells were measured in the presence of ERK1/2 specific inhibitor U0126. Data are representative of three independent experiments (mean ± SEM). ∗∗p < 0.01.
