Moreover, transcriptome analysis revealed that the inhibition of NSCLC cell growth by CLS may be via three pathways, including “Cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction,” “PI3K-Akt signaling pathway” and “MAPK signaling pathway.” Subsequently, quantitative real-time PCR (RT-qPCR) and Western blot (WB) revealed TGFB2, INHBB, PIK3R3, ITGB8, TrkB and CACNA1D as the critical targets for the anti-tumor effects of CLS in vitro. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is neoplasm.
