PTEN suppresses renal cell carcinoma proliferation and migration via inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway by Xu Xu, Yuan-Yue Tang, Xiaohong Liang, Wen Luo, Dong-Mei Jiang, Jie Chen

“…In 786-O cells with low PTEN expression, further induction of PTEN overexpression significantly inhibited PI3K/AKT signaling activity (p < 0.01), accompanied by decreased cell viability and migration ability. These results indicate that the expression pattern of PTEN in RCC is complex, but its overexpression can exert tumor-suppressive effects by inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. …”
