Shikonin inhibits both C-MYC and PI3K/AKT/mTOR activity in vitro. (A) Western blot indicated the protein expression of C-MYC in BL cells after treatment with SHK. β-actin was used as a loading control. (B) and (C) Namalwa and Raji cells were treated with SHK for 12 h. The relative expression of miR-19a was analyzed by RT-PCR. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments. (D) Western blot indicated the protein expression of phosphorylation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR in BL cells after treatment with SHK. β-actin was used as a loading control. (E) The protein expression of C-MYC was analyzed by western blot after treatment with C-MYC inhibitor 10058-F4 (100 uM) in BL cells. β-actin was used as a loading control. Cropped blots/gels were used in the figure and the gels had been run under the same experimental conditions; the fulllength blots/gels are presented in Supplementary Figure S2. (F) RT-PCR was performed to evaluate the effect of 10058-F4 (100 uM) on expression of miR-19a in Namalwa cells. All data represent an independent experiment from three repeated tests with similar results.
