EGCG inhibit rabbit lens epithelial cell growth by regulating PKB phosphorylation / 中国病理生理杂志

ABSTRACT

AIM: To explore the role of PI3K /PKB pathway in the growth inhibition effect of rabbit lens epithelial cells (LECs) induced by (-)-epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). METHODS: Rabbit LECs were obtained by tissue culture; MTT colormetric assay was used to study growth of LECs; Western blotting was used to study the kinsae phosphorylation- and nonphosphorylation- level of PKB. RESULTS: (1) When LECs were preincubated with 25, 50 ?mol/L LY294002 for 1 h, 50 ?mol/L EGCG had little influence on the proliferation of LECs. It showed significant inhibition when EGCG increased to 100, 200 ?mol/L ( P
