a Dot plot of the KEGG enrichment pathways in the SGLT2 inhibitor treatment group. b Heatmap of the SGLT2 inhibitor treatment-related genes that participated in the PI3K-AKT pathway in MNNG/HOS cells. c Western blot analysis of the protein expression levels of AKT and p-AKT in MG-63 and MNNG/HOS cell lines treated with canagliflozin (1 uM) for 24 h. GAPDH served as an internal reference. RT-PCR analysis (d) and Western blot analysis (e) of the mRNA and protein expression levels in MG-63 and MNNG/HOS cell lines treated with canagliflozin (1 uM), MK2206 (10 μM), or the combination of canagliflozin (1 uM) and MK2206 (10 μM). Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (ns not significant; ***p < 0.001). RT-PCR analysis (f) and Western blot analysis (g) of the mRNA and protein expression levels of specific genes in MG-63 and MNNG/HOS cell lines treated with canagliflozin (1 uM), SC-79 (20 μM), or the combination of canagliflozin (1 uM) and SC-79 (20 μM) for 24 h. Data are presented as the mean ± SD of three independent experiments (ns not significant; ***p < 0.001).
