IH, GN and Aca inhibit PI3K/AKT/mTOR/p70S6K/ULK1 signaling pathway via reducing PI3Kγ-p110 expression. (A)MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with IH, GN, Aca at indicated concentrations for 24 h, cell lysates were prepared and subjected to western blot using antibodies against PI3Kα, PI3Kβ, PI3Kγ, PI3Kδ, p-PI3K, p-AKT, AKT, p-mTOR, mTOR, p-p70S6K, p-ULK and ULK1. (B,C) MDA-MB-231 cells were pretreated with 20 μM AS605240 for 2 h, followed by treatment with or without 20 μM IH, 20 μM GN and 50 μM Aca for 48 h. Cells were stained with Annexin V/PI, and the percentage of apoptotic cells were showed as mean ± S.D. for three independent experiments (**P < 0.01). (DF) Cells were treated as B and C, cell lysates were prepared and subjected to western blot analysis using antibodies against PARP, cleaved-caspase 3 (C-Caspase 3), Bcl-2, Bcl-xL, p53, PI3Kγ, p-Akt, p-mTOR, p-ULK p70S6K, p62 and LC3.
