Carboxylesterase 4A Inhibits the Malignant Biological Behavior of Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma via the PI3K/AKT Pathway by Qiaoli Chen MS, Quanxiang Hao MBBS, Yanping Yang MBBS, Limei Li PhD, Danping Li MS, Ran Zhao MS, Wanqi Wei MBBS, Lixian Deng MBBS, Jiaming Su MBBS, Ziyuan Liang MBBS, Shiyue Tang MS, Yaomin Lu MBBS, Yushan Liang PhD, Zhe Zhang PhD, Xiaoying Zhou PhD, Xue Xiao PhD, Ping Li PhD, Yi Huang PhD, Weilin Zhao PhD

“…Ectopic expression of CES4A restrains the proliferation, colony formation, migration and invasion of NPC. Additionally, KEGG analysis based on GEO data and high-throughput transcriptome sequencing of cell lines all strongly suggested that CES4A was involved in regulating phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway. …”
