In context, p‐AKT, p‐SGK1, and p‐p70S6K1 are known to promote proliferation, while an increased LC3II/I ratio may suggest activation of autophagy.41, 42 It is therefore reasonable to infer that SNHG1, miR‐137, and RICTOR may be involved in the regulation of proliferation and autophagy in CRC cells. This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and colorectal carcinoma.
