The expressions of Akt, phosphorylated Akt Ser473, phosphorylated Akt Thr308, phosphorylated nuclear factor-kappa b p65 Ser536, and Bcl-2 significantly decreased; however, the expressions of phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase-3beta Ser9, phosphorylated forkhead in human rhabdomyosarcoma Ser256, and phosphorylated caspase-9 Ser196 increased in response to lactoferrin treatment in SGC-7901.
Real-time RT-PCR assays specific for Ewing's sarcoma (EWS-FLI1, EWS-ERG, EWS-ETV1, EWS-ETV4, and EWS-FEV), synovial sarcoma (SYT-SSX1 and SYT-SSX2), and rhabdomyosarcoma (PAX3-FKHR and PAX7-FKHR) were tested across the samples.
