Figure 6From: Oleanane triterpenoid CDDO-Me induces apoptosis in multidrug resistant osteosarcoma cells through inhibition of Stat3 pathway Time-dependent inhibition of Stat3 phosphorylation and down-regulated Stat3-mediated antiapoptotic proteins by CDDO-Me. Parental cells KHOS, U-2OS (A) and MDR cells KHOSR2, U-2OSTR (B) were treated for 24 h with CDDO-Me (1 μM), and then harvested and processed for Western blotting. For Western blot analysis, 30 μg of total cellular proteins were subjected to immunoblotting with specific antibodies.Back to article page
