MiR-454-3p suppressed apoptosis and induced oxaliplatin resistance via activation of AKT pathway. (A) Western blotting on the expression of p-AKT, p-mTOR, total AKT, and total mTOR. β-Actin was used as an endogenous reference. (B,C) Cell viability determined by MTT assay in indicated cells treated with oxaliplatin and/or AKT signaling inhibitor LY294002. (D,E) Caspase-3 activity in indicated cells treated with different concentrations of oxaliplatin and/or LY294002. (F) Western blotting on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, including Bax, Bcl-2, and cleaved caspase-3. Results were presented as mean ± SD from three independent experiments. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01.
