Figure 3. Effect of magnolol on NF-ĸB activation, metastasis-related proteins and ERK phosphorylation in SK-Hep1 cells. Cells were treated with0-150 μM magnolol, respectively, for 48 h. A) NF-ĸB activation was determined with NF-ĸB reporter gene assay. B) Protein levels of MMP-2,MMP-9, uPA, phosphor-ERK (pERK) were evaluated by western blot assays. *p<0.05 and **p<0.01 compared to control (0.1 % DMSO treatment).
