AKT1 and cancer: The results showed there was an increase in D0, Dq, N and survival rates in RR HeLa and RR SiHa, indicating a reduction in the radiosensitivity (Fig. 1a, b).We also verified the radioresistance of RR HeLaand RR SiHaby analyzing the pro-survival proteins, and showed that the phosphorylation levels of p110α, p110β, and AKT, which are the hallmarkers of cancer radioresistance, were markedly increased in the RR HeLa and RR SiHa cells (Additional file 1: Figure S1A).
