Down-regulation of VEGFR-3 expression and p-Akt levels by MAZ51. The effects of MAZ51 on VEGFR expression and its downstream signal pathway, Akt, were examined in human prostate cancer PC-3 cells by Western blotting. (A) Representative blots of VEGFR-3, p-Akt (Ser473), and total-Akt in the absence and presence of 1 and 3 μM MAZ51 for 48 h in PC-3 cells. (B–D) The expression levels of VEGFR-3 (B), p-Akt (C), and total-Akt (D) in the absence and presence of MAZ51 in PC-3 cells (n = 8). (E,F) Representative blots (E) and the expression levels (F) of VEGFR-1 in the absence and presence of MAZ51 in PC-3 cells (n = 4). (G,H) Representative blots (G) and the expression levels (H) of VEGFR-2 in the absence and presence of MAZ51 in PC-3 cells (n = 4). These expression levels were normalized by that of β-actin. Data are presented as means ± S.D. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01 vs. 0 μM MAZ51 (Scheffé’s test following ANOVA).
