The E545K mutation of PIK3CA promotes GBC progression in vitro. a, b GBC-SD and NOZ cells treated with CON, WT and E545K were evaluated using CCK8 cell viability assays. Cell proliferation was represented as cell quantity. Data are presented as mean ± SD (n = 5). c, d Migration assays of the GBC-SD and NOZ cells treated with CON, WT and E545K were evaluated with uncoated transwells. Representative images of the stained migrated cells stained pictures and the numbers of migrated cells (mean ± SD, n = 5) are shown. e, f Invasion assays of the GBC-SD and NOZ cells treated with CON, WT and E545K were evaluated with Matrigel-coated transwells. Representative images of stained invaded cells and the numbers of invaded cells (mean ± SD, n = 5) are shown
