AKT1 and gastric cancer: Zeng et al. have reported that the knockdown of XLOC_006753 can reduce the expression levels of PI3K, p-AKT (Thr308/Ser473), and p-mTOR (phosphorylation mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase), thus activating caspase-9 to promote apoptosis and reverse DDP and 5-FU resistance in gastric cancer cells in vitro [127].
