Real-time RT–PCR analysis revealed that the expression levels of all six predicted targets, including cyclin D2 (CCND2), cyclin E2 (CCNE2), CDC25A, VEGFA, phospholipase C-γ1 (PLCG1), and AKT3, were significantly elevated in NPC tissues (Figure 4A and B). This evidence concerns the gene AKT3 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
