Akt1 and Akt2 isoforms are required for Wnt5a-induced RhoA activity. a, c Human osteosarcoma cells MG-63 (a) and U20S (c), serum-deprived for 24 h, were pre-treated with 10 nmol/L MK-2206 (Akt inhibitor) for 1 h, were incubated with 100 ng/mL Wnt5a and harvested at 30 min after the start of Wnt5a treatment. The relative RhoA activity was normalized to the average value of LY294002/Wnt5a-untreated group. b, d Serum-deprived MG-63 (b) and U20S cells (d) were pre-treated with 10 nmol/L A-674563 (Akt1 inhibitor) and 10 nmol/L CCT128930 (Akt2 inhibitor) for 1 h, then were incubated with 100 ng/mL Wnt5a and harvested at 30 min after the start of Wnt5a treatment. Data were presented as mean ± SD of 3 determinations. The relative RhoA activity was normalized to the average value of each inhibitor-untreated group
