Effects of GDF11 on MSCs were mediated through PI3K/Akt pathway. A KEGG analysis of the data from cytokine protein array. PI3K/Akt pathway is one of the top-20 annotation enrichment pathways. B Phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT in MSCsVector and MSCsGDF11 was examined by Western blot. C Quantitative analysis of B. D MSCs were transfected with control (NC)- or GDF11-specific siRNA. Phosphorylation of PI3K and AKT was examined by Western blot (n = 3). E Quantitative analysis of C
