Deglycosylated EpCAM regulates proliferation by enhancing autophagy of breast cancer cells via PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway
Figure 7. Effects of EpCAM and autophagy on proliferation and apoptosis via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 cells. MCF-7 (A, C) and MDA-MB-231 (B, D) cells were treated with M-EpCAM plasmid and MK2206 (1μM) for 48 h. Whole cell lysates were subjected to western blot to detect the expression of Caspase 3, Bcl2, Bax and PCAN.
