All-Trans Retinoic Acid Induces Proliferation, Survival, and Migration in A549 Lung Cancer Cells by Activating the ERK Signaling Pathway through a Transcription-Independent Mechanism

Figure 1

ATRA activates the ERK pathway through nongenomic mechanisms in A549 cells. A549 cells were serum-starved for 18 h, treated or nontreated (NT) with 5 μM of ATRA for the times indicated. The phosphorylated form of ERK and total proteins were detected by western blot using specific antibodies.
