1 Berberine-induced AMPK activation inhibits the metastatic potential of melanoma cells via reduction of ERK activity and COX-2 protein expression. Berberine protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens
2 Berberine strongly increased AMPK phosphorylation via reactive oxygen species (ROS) production. Berberine protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens
3 Furthermore, berberine inhibited the metastatic potential of melanoma cells through a decrease in ERK activity and protein levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) by a berberine-induced AMPK activation. Berberine protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens
4 Furthermore, berberine inhibited the metastatic potential of melanoma cells through a decrease in ERK activity and protein levels of cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) by a berberine-induced AMPK activation. Berberine protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens
5 Collectively, our results suggest that berberine-induced AMPK activation inhibits the metastatic potential of tumor cells through a reduction in the activity of the ERK signaling pathway and COX-2 protein levels. Berberine protein kinase AMP-activated catalytic subunit alpha 2 Homo sapiens
