In vivo experiments to verify the inhibitory effect of dioscin on prostate cancer. (A, B) Dioscin inhibits tumor growth in BALB/c nude mice after tumor implantation with LNCaP-C81 or LNCaP cells (both p < 0.01). (C, D) Ki67 was used to assess tumor cell proliferation but did not change significantly between the groups (p > 0.05). (E, F) Dioscin promoted the expression of p-SHP1 (Y536) (p < 0.05) and inhibited p-Erk1/2 (T202/T204), p-P38 (T182), p-P38 (T180) and caspase-3 (35 KD) protein expression (all p < 0.01). It also significantly promoted the expression of caspase-3 (17/19KD) and Bad (all p < 0.01). Representative data from one of three independent experiments are shown in Figure 5 (C, E). * on behalf of p < 0.05; ** on behalf of p < 0.01.
