MAPK3 and neoplasm: The transcriptome data of A549 cells overexpressing SNCA were further used to screen the relevant immune-related genes regulated by SNCA. Enrichment analysis confirmed that SNCA participates in the PI3K-AKT signaling pathway and other key tumor signaling pathways and regulates the expression of MAPK3, SRC, PLCG1, and SHC1. Cellular proliferation assay showed that SNCA could inhabit the growth of A549 cells via inhibiting activity of PI3K/AKT/ mTOR pathway.
