KLK11 silencing activated the PI3K/AKT/apoptosis signaling pathway.

Notes: (A and B) Relative cell viability and relative caspase-3 activity was determined in HCT-8, HCT-8/L-OHP, CON, and KD2 cells. (C) HCT-8/L-OHP induced high expression of PI3K, pAKT, and Bcl-2 proteins, and reduced expression of Bax protein. Moreover, knockdown of KLK11 led to a reduction of PI3K, pAKT, and Bcl-2 and an increase of Bax in HCT-8/L-OHP KD2 cells. Data are presented as mean ± SD of triplicate experiments. **P<0.01 versus HCT-8/L-OHP cell, and versus CON.
