Combined Application of Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase and Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Inhibitors Suppresses Cell Growth and Promotes Apoptosis in Human Lung Cancer Cell Lines
Abstract:PI3K/Akt/mTOR would be an important intracellular signal pathway which has found to be over-activated in neoplasia. Here, the combination effect of LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor) and rapamycine (mTOR inhibitor) has evaluated in different human lung cancer cell lines. MTT assay has used to assess the viability of Calu-6, SK-MES-1 and A549 cancer cells. The levels of biochemical markers of apoptosis (activated caspase-3) and cell proliferation (c-Myc and cyclin D1) have evaluated by immunoblotting. The data has shown… Show more
