Western blot analysis was performed as described previously [15 (link)]. MG63.3 cells were treated with IP6 (0 or 5 mM) for 6 hours then lysed in SDS gel loading buffer. Lysates from equal number of cells were loaded on 4-20% SDS-PAGE gels. After electrophoresis, proteins were transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane and probed with primary antibodies against phospho-Akt (Ser473), phospho-GSK3α/β (Ser21/9) and phospho-p44/42 MAPK (Erk1/2) (Thr202/Tyr204) (Cell Signaling Technology, Inc. Boston, MA). β-Actin (Sigma, St. Louis, MO) was used as a loading control.
