Effect of CurtoCK-AuNPs on the expression of apoptosis-related proteins, including Bax, Bcl-2, cytochrome c, caspase 9, caspase 3, PI3K, and Akt in AGS cells. A The expression level of each gene was determined by western blotting, and B their blotting images were quantified using Image J software. Medium alone and cisplatin (50 μM) were used as negative (NC) and positive (PC) controls, respectively. The asterisks on each column indicate significant difference between NC and each sample. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001. Bax Bcl-2-associated X protein, Bcl-2 B cell lymphoma-2, PI3K phosphoinositide 3-kinase
