Long-Term Nitric Oxide Exposure Enhances Lung Cancer Cell Migration

Figure 5

Nitric oxide exposure activates the FAK-Akt pathways. (a) NO-treated cells at 7 and 14 days were subjected to Western blotting, and the expression levels of phosphorylated FAK, total FAK, phosphorylated Akt, total Akt, Cdc42, and Cav-1 were determined. To confirm equal loading of the samples, the blots were reprobed with β-actin antibody. (b) The immunoblot signals were quantified by densitometry. The data are the mean ± SD ( ). versus the nontreated control.
