Abstract Title:
Isoliquiritigenin inhibits cell proliferation and migration through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in A549 lung cancer cells.
Abstract:
The present study aimed to investigate the molecular mechanisms of inhibition of Isoliquiritigenin (ISL) on the proliferation and migration of A549 cells. A549 cells were cultured, and the effects of ISL inhibition were examined using cell counting kit-8, Transwell invasion and flow cytometric assays. Western blot analysis was also performed to detect cell apoptosis and the expression of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT serine/threonine kinase (AKT) signaling pathway-associated proteins. The results demonstrated a significant inhibition of proliferation and migration of A549 cells when treated with ISL (P
