Phosphorylation levels of MAP kinase, AKT/p70S6kinase and AMPK proteins in HCE-T cells under desiccation stress. Immunoblot shows phosphorylated ERK1/2, p38, AKT and P70S6kinase, and AMPK (Figure 6). Densitometric analysis of the blots showed the ratios of phosphorylated AKT, p70s6kinase, ERK1/2 and p38 to AKT, p70s6kinase, ERK1/2, and p38. Data are the mean ± SD values, n = 3, statistical significance denoted (∗p < 0.05, ∗∗p < 0.01, ∗∗∗p < 0.001, and ns- nonsignificant as compared to desiccated cells). Note that --- is control, +-- HCE-T cells exposed to desiccation (Des), -+- HCE-T cells treated with chloroquine (CQ), ++- desiccated HCE-T cells treated with chloroquine (CQ), --+ HCE-T cells treated with cyclosporine (CsA), and -++ desiccated HCE-T cells treated with cyclosporine (CsA).
