THC inhibits Akt in vivo. (A) Mouse ErbB2 and (B) rat ErbB2 (neu transgene) mRNA expression in vehicle- and cannabinoid-treated tumors as determined by real-time quatitative PCR. (B and C) Western blot and densitometric analysis of phospho-Akt (B) and phospho-S6 ribosomal protein (C) levels in MMTV-neu-derived tumors treated with vehicle or THC. Eight representative tumors are shown. Total Akt (B) and α-tubulin (C) were used for normalization. Non-contiguous parts of the same gel are shown. Optical densities are expressed in arbitrary units.
