LKB1 knockdown suppresses PKA-mediated AMPK activation. (A) LKB1-specific siRNA pool causes knockdown of LKB1 in FTC−133 cells. Non-targeting siRNA was used as a control. Proteins were analyzed 48 h after transfection. Vinculin is shown as a loading control. (B) Cells treated with control- or LKB1-specific siRNAs were treated with PKA activator (PKA) and/or inhibitor (PKI) for the indicated times and probed for activation (phosphorylation) of mTOR, LKB1, and AMPK. GAPDH was used as a loading control.
