ROS/JNK pathway mediates APE-induced cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and autophagy in MDA-MB-231 cells. MDA-MB-231 cells were treated with APE 300 μM EqC with or without pretreatment with 5 mM NAC or 5 µM SP600125 for 1 h. (a) After 24 h the distribution of cell cycle was assessed by flow cytometry and the expression of cell cycle-related proteins was measured by western blotting. (b) After 24 h cell apoptosis was evaluated by flow cytometry and the expression of apoptosis-related proteins was measured by western blotting. (c) After 48 h autophagy was analyzed by flow cytometry and the levels of beclin-1, LC3B and p62 were analyzed by western blotting. All results were obtained from at least three independent experiments (*P < 0.05 versus control cells). The full-length blots are included in the supplementary information (Figs S8S11).
