SLC26A4 Mutation Promotes Cell Apoptosis by Inducing Pendrin Transfer, Reducing Cl- Transport, and Inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway

Figure 5

Mutations in SLC26A4 suppress the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. The phosphorylated and total levels of PI3K, Akt, and mTOR were examined by Western blot. The ratios of p-PI3K/PI3K, p-Akt/Akt, and p-mTOR/mTOR were calculated. GAPDH served as an internal control. ## compared to the vector group. compared to the wild-type group.
