Whole proteome analysis showed that Fra-1 affected the activity of the high mobility group AT-hook 1 (HMGA1)/phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway in GC cells. This evidence concerns the gene HMGA1 and gastric cancer.
