Effects of Environmental pH on the Growth of Gastric Cancer Cells

Figure 5

Alkaline microenvironment inhibited the expression of proteins (mTOR, AKT, HIF-1α, Wnt, and Glut). (a) Grayscale analysis of WB bands. (b) WB detected the expression of proteins (mTOR, AKT, HIF-1α, Wnt, and Glut) in GC cells (SGC-7901 and MKN45) at different pH values (pH 6.0, pH 7.0, and pH 8.0) after being cultured for 48 h.
