To explore the relationship between mTOR signaling and NEAT1 expression in HCC, we examined the level of mTORC1 (p-S6K) and mTORC2 (p-AKT) signaling (left panel, Figure 2A), and NEAT1 expression (middle panel, Figure 2A) in a panel of HCC cell lines. This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and hepatocellular carcinoma.
