Furthermore, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma, PLAC8 contributes to radioresistance by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β pathway, as knockout of PLAC8 sensitizes nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells to radiation by activating the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β pathway. This evidence concerns the gene PLAC8 and nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
