Apatinib inhibited the β-catenin pathway. Apatinib decreased mRNA and protein levels of endogenous β-catenin target genes in HCT116 and CT26 cells. HCT116 cells were treated with 30 μM apatinib for 24 h, and different expression genes were analyzed by RNA-seq. mRNA levels of β-catenin target genes were analyzed (A) and further confirmed by RT-PCR (B). Data shown represent the mean of three independent RT-PCR reactions, graphed as relative expression level compared to that of DMSO-treated control. (C and D) The effects of apatinib on β-catenin target gene products in HCT116 (C) and CT26 cells (D) were examined through Western blot analyses. The level of β-actin was used as a loading control. Data are expressed as means ± SEM of three experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs control group.
