AKT1 and glioblastoma: Liu et al. found that NBAT1 has lower expressions in glioblastoma tissues compared with those in normal brain tissues and they also observed that up-regulated NBAT1 inhibits proliferation of T98 and U87 cells via regulating Akt, suggesting that NBAT1 may be related to prognosis of glioblastoma (Liu et al., 2018).
