Activation of the MAPK/ERK signaling pathway was involved in FOXC2-regulated oxaliplatin resistance. (A) The ERK1/2 and phospho-ERK1/2 levels after FOXC2 silencing in OXA-resistant HCT116/OXA cells were determined by Western blotting. (B) Western blotting detection of E-cadherin, Vimentin, ERK1/2 and phospho-ERK1/2 proteins in HCT116/FOXC2 cells after MAPK/ERK kinase inhibitor SCH772984 treatment. GAPDH served as an internal control. (C) MAPK/ERK kinase inhibitor SCH772984 could reduce the IC50 of OXA in HCT116/FOXC2 cells (p < 0.05). IC50 values of HCT116/FOXC2 group: 13.65 ± 0.92μM, HCT116/FOXC2+ SCH772984 group: 25.85 ± 3.09μM. All values stand for the average of three independent experiments (means ± SDs). *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001.
