The transcytosis process was inhibited by agents that affect actin cytoskeleton or intracellular signaling through PI3-kinase.

Reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH)-dependent oxidase inhibitor, diphenyl iodonium chloride and the myeloperoxidase inhibitor sodium azide (NaN3) showed remarkable inhibitory effects on ROS generation induced by NP, but an inhibitor against mitochondrial respiratory function, potassium cyanide (KCN), did not exhibit significant effect.
Furthermore, the phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI3) kinase inhibitor wortmannin and the tyrosine kinase inhibitor protein phosphorylation inhibitor 1 (PP1) caused strong suppression against NP-induced ROS generation.

An NADPH-dependent oxidase inhibitor, diphenyl iodonium chloride (DPI), and a myeloperoxidase inhibitor, sodium azide (NaN3), showed remarkable inhibitory effects on ROS generation induced by NP, but an inhibitor against mitochondrial respiratory function, potassium cyanide (KCN), did not exhibit a significant effect.
Furthermore, a phosphatidylinositol-3 (PI3) kinase inhibitor, wortmannin, and a tyrosine kinase inhibitor, protein phosphorylation inhibitor 1 (PP1), caused a strong suppression of NP-induced ROS generation.

Similar experiments were carried out using N-ethylmaleimide, low potassium medium, or inhibitors of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, each of which blocks intracellular membrane vesicle trafficking.
After the atherogenic lipoprotein, beta-very low density lipoprotein (beta-VLDL), was internalized by macrophages and hydrolyzed in lysosomes, the cells were depleted of energy by treatment with sodium azide and 2-deoxyglucose or by permeabilization.

We hypothesize that glycolysis in gliomas can support invasive migration, especially when aided by loss of PTEN's regulation on the phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway leading to inhibition of GSK3.
In this study, we examined cell migration, adhesion (a step in migration), and Matrigel invasion of U87 and LN229 glioma cells when their mitochondria were inhibited with sodium azide or limited by 1% O (2).

Sodium azide, an inhibitor of ATP production, and Genistein, a general tyrosine kinase inhibitor, antagonized these effects.
Wortmannin, a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor, and SU6656, an Src tyrosine kinase inhibitor, only partially antagonized the effect.
