Overexpressed HDAC4, HDAC6, or MEK can partially reverse the apoptotic effect of combination. AsPC-1 cells were transfected with empty vector, HDAC1, HDAC4, HDAC6, or GFP-MEK overnight and then co-treated with 2 μM MPT0E028 and 20 μM PD98059 for 48 h. a The protein expression of HDAC1, HDAC4, HDAC6, b caspase-3, and PARP. Actin was used as an internal control. c MEK, GFP, and PARP expressions were determined after overexpressed MEK AsPC1 cells co-treated with MPTE028 (2 μM) and PD98059 (20 μM). C control, E MPT0E028, PD PD98059
