(B) Western blotting of endogenous SOX9 protein turnover in the presence of PI3K/mTOR dual inhibitor, AZD2014. Daoy were transfected with either siScr or siFBW7 for 48 hours prior to further treatment with 1 µM AZD2014. The cycloheximide chase of SOX9 protein turnover was examined 2 hours following the inhibitor treatment. Immunobloting of Cyclin E protein was used to indicate the efficacy of siFBW7 transfection. Changes in SOX9 protein level in the representative blots were analysed relative to GAPDH using ImageJ. The set of blots shown is representative from 3 independent experiments.
