“…21 Briefly, three groups of H1299 cells (one study group and two control groups), each of which contained an equal number of cells (3 Â 10 5 cells per 100-mm culture dish at 60% confluency), were left untreated in SFM for 24 h at 378C in 5% CO 2 . The cells were then lysed and subjected to SDS-PAGE (sodium dodecyl sulfatepolyacrylamide gel electrophoresis) and Western blot analysis to detect levels of Ras (Calbiochem, Darmstadt, Germany), cdc42, Rho, PI3K, Akt (BD Transduction Laboratories, Los Angeles, CA), mTOR, p-mTOR (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc., Beverly, MA), Rac1 and CD82 (Santa Cruz Biotechnology, Santa Cruz, CA).…”
