Inhibition of Akt activity is required for sinomenine-mediated glycolysis suppression. (A) IB analysis of Akt and S6 phosphorylation in sinomenine-treated HCC827 (left) and H1975 (right) cells. (B and C), IB analysis of Akt phosphorylation and HK2 expression in sinomenine or wortmannin treated HCC827 (B) and H1975 (C) cells. (D) IB analysis of HK2 and Akt protein levels in siCtrl and siAkt transfected HCC827 and H1975 cells. (E) Glucose uptake (left) and lactate production (right) in siCtrl and siAkt transfected HCC827 and H1975 cells. (F) IB analysis (left), glucose consumption (middle), and lactate production (right) measurement of HCC827 cells were transfected with Myr-Akt1. (G) IB analysis of cleaved-caspase 3 and PARP in HCC827 cells transfected with Myr-Akt1. (H) IF analysis of cleaved-caspase 3 in sinomenine-treated HCC827 cells with Myr-Akt1 transfection. **p<0.01, ***p<0.001.
