Effect of MXD (or MXD-medicated serum) on phosphorylated Akt, mTOR, P70S6K expressions in PM2.5-stimulated rat lung tissues and A549 cells
(A) In vivo p-Akt expression. (B) In vitro p-Akt expression. (C) In vivo p-mTOR expression. (D) In vitro p-mTOR expression. (E) In vivo p-p70S6K expression. (F) In vitro p-p70S6K expression. Data are expressed as mean ± S.D. n=3/group, *P<0.05, **P<0.01 compared with PM2.5-stimulated group; ##P<0.01 compared with control group.
