Kaji-Ichigoside F1 and Rosamultin Protect Vascular Endothelial Cells against Hypoxia-Induced Apoptosis via the PI3K/AKT or ERK1/2 Signaling Pathway

Figure 5

Kaji-ichigoside F1 enhanced cell viability via activation of ERK1/2 signaling, and Rosamultin enhanced cell viability via PI3K/AKT and ERK1/2 signaling pathways during hypoxia. (a) MTT assay showing the effects of Kaji-ichigoside F1, Rosamultin, and/or the PI3K/AKT inhibitor, LY294002, on cell viability. (b) MTT assay showing the effects of Kaji-ichigoside F1, Rosamultin, and/or the ERK1/2 inhibitor, PD98059, on cell viability. Results are displayed as (). + vs. normoxia control group, , ++ vs. model group, # vs. Kaji-ichigoside F1 group. & vs. Rosamultin group.
