Fig. 10. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase (LY 294002) and MEK1 (PD 98059) prevents
HGF/SF-induced phosphorylation of PKC-
. Western blot analyses of HaCaT
cells that were left untreated (media change) or were exposed to HGF/SF (for
10 minutes at 100 ng/ml) after preincubation with (A) PI 3-kinase inhibitor LY
294002 (LY; at 10 µM for 60 minutes), with (B) MEK1 inhibitor PD 98059 (PD;
at 50 µM for 60 minutes) or with solvent only (DMSO, 0.1%). Cellular
extracts were immunoprecipitated (IP) by specific anti-PKC-
antibody
(Santa Cruz) prior to immunoblotting (IB). Immunoblotting with pan-PKC-
antibody (upper panel) and with phospho-PKC-
antibody (lower panel).
Immunoblots displayed are representative of two that were performed revealing
comparable results.
