Fig. 5. NE activates the β-catenin/SLUG axis through phosphorylating AKT.

Fig. 5

a NE phosphorylates the Ser473 and Thr308 residues of AKT in ovarian cancer cells by using western blotting at 24 h. b CCK-8 assay was used to evaluate the effects of different concentration of AKT inhibitor AKTi VIII on the viability of ovarian cancer cells at 24 h. c Western blotting showed that AKTi VIII inhibited NE-mediated activation of the AKT/β-catenin/SLUG axis in ovarian cells at 24 h. AKTi VIII reduces NE-mediated pro-migration (d) and pro-invasion (e) influence on ovarian cancer cells at 24 h. **P < 0.01; ***P < 0.001. Scale bar, 200 μM.
