LAPTM5 promotes activation of the JNK/p38 axis. (a) Protein expression of phosphorylated and total MAPK in the 786-0-LAPTM5-overexpression and 786-0-control groups. (b) Protein expression of phosphorylated and total MAPK in 786-0-shLAPTM5 and 786-0-shRNA groups. (c) Protein expression of phosphorylated and total MAPK in the Caki-1-LAPTM5-overexpression and Caki-1-control groups. (d) Protein expression of phosphorylated and total MAPK in 786-0-LAPTM5-overexpression injected mice and 786-0-control injected mice. (e) and (f) Interaction between LAPTM5 and RAC1 in 293T cells. (g) and (h) Interaction between LAPTM5 and RAC1 in vitro. vs. control or shRNA groups. n = 3 independent experiments.
