Aloe-Emodin-Mediated Photodynamic Therapy Induces Apoptosis in Basal Cell Carcinoma Cells via Activation of ERK/JNK Signaling Pathway

Effect of AE-mediated PDT on the Akt pathway and mitogen-activated protein kinases. (a) Western blotting analysis of Akt, JNK, and ERK following AE-PDT. The cells were treated with 5 μM AE, irradiated for 10 min, and protein lysates were collected 12 h later for western blotting assays. β-Actin was used as an internal control. The graphs represent the quantitative analysis of the change of (b) p-Akt, (c) p-JNK, and (d) p-ERK (). Protein level was expressed as from three independent experiments.
