This revealed that levels of PIK3CB and p-AKT (S473) were elevated in all seven GXP GBMs and GBM cell lines we tested compared with wild-type (WT) NS or WT brain, whereas the levels of PIK3CA and p-AKT (T308) appeared to be more heterogeneously expressed (Fig. 2b). This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and glioblastoma.
