1 Ursolic acid induces U937 cells differentiation by PI3K/Akt pathway activation. ursolic acid AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
2 RESULTS: It was found that UA could induce the differentiation of U937cells and Akt-activity was significantly increased during differentiation. ursolic acid AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
3 Additionally, LY294002, a PI3K-Akt inhibitor, could block the differentiation of U937 cells induced by UA. ursolic acid AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: UA could induce the differentiation of U937 cells by activating the PI3K/Akt pathway, and it could be a potential candidate as a differentiation-inducing agent for the therapy of leukemia. ursolic acid AKT serine/threonine kinase 1 Homo sapiens
