PIK3CD and nonpapillary renal cell carcinoma: The GEPIA revealed that the mRNA expression of major PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway members, including PTEN, PIK3CA, PIK3CB, AKT1, AKT2 and AKT3, were negatively correlated with ccRCC stages (P < 0.05), though most of their mRNA and protein expression levels were notsignificantly different between ccRCC and normal tissues using GEPIA, Oncomine and WB analyses (P < 0.05).
