The Zuo Jin Wan Formula Induces Mitochondrial Apoptosis of Cisplatin-Resistant Gastric Cancer Cells via Cofilin-1

Figure 7

ZJW induces the dephosphorylation of p-cofilin-1 by PP1 and PP2A. (a) SGC7901/DDP cells were treated with ZJW (50 μg/mL) for 0, 6, 12, and 24 h as indicated. Whole cell proteins were prepared and subjected to western blotting to detect PP1, PP2A, and SSH. (b) Cells were treated with ZJW (50 μg/mL) and calyculin A (2 ng/mL) for 24 h. Whole cell protein was subjected to western blotting to detect PP1, PP2A, and p-cofilin-1. (c) Cells were treated with ZJW (50 μg/mL) and calyculin A (2 ng/mL) for 24 h and subjected to an apoptosis evaluation using flow cytometry with an Annexin V-FITC/propidium iodide apoptosis detection kit. , groups treated with ZJW and calyculin A versus groups treated only ZJW. (d) A co-IP assay with an anti-cofilin-1 antibody was used to detect the activation of PP1 and PP2A following treatment with ZJW (50 μg/mL) and calyculin A (2 ng/mL) for 24 h. (e) Western blotting detected PARP, cleaved caspase-3 and caspase-9, and cytochrome C in SGC7901/DDP cells following ZJW (50 μg/mL) and calyculin A (2 ng/mL) treatment for 24 h.
