SAL activated PI3K/AKT and AMPK signalling pathways by regulation of miR-138.
The transfected cells were treated with HG (50 mM) and SAL (3 μM), and the protein levels of (a and b) p/t-PI3K, p/t-AKT, (c and d) p/t-AMPK, (e) nuclear/cytoplasm AKT and (f) nuclear/cytoplasm AMPK were examined by western blot assay. *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.01.
