The effects of oxymatrine on FN-induced αβ3 integrin up-regulation and FAK/PI3K/Akt signaling activation in MDA-MB-231 cells.

Notes: The cells were pretreated with oxymatrine and cyclo-RGDfK for 1 h, and then stimulated with FN for 48 h (serum-free condition). (A) The expression of α and β3 integrin was analyzed by Western blot. (B) The expression of phosphorylated and total FAK, PI3K, and Akt was detected by Western blot. The data are shown as the mean ± SEM. *P<0.05 as compared to the control group, #P<0.05 as compared to the FN group. The statistical data is provided from 3 independent experiments.

Abbreviations: OMT, oxymatrine; FN, fibronectin; FAK, focal adhesion kinase; PI3K, phosphoinositide 3-kinase; Akt, protein kinase B; GAPDH, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase.
