piRNA-31115 Promotes Cell Proliferation and Invasion via PI3K/AKT Pathway in Clear Cell Renal Carcinoma

Figure 4

piR-31115 may activate the epithelial-mesenchymal transition process and the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. (a) The protein expression of E-cadherin, snail, vimentin, pAKT, AKT, p-PI3K, and PI3K was detected by western blotting after knockdown of piR-31115 in CaKi-1 and 786O cells. Protein expression calculated by ImageJ is shown on the right. ; ; ; the data are presented as the based on triplicate independent experiments.
