The regulatory effects of LACTB on autophagy and EMT are partially due to the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. (AC) Western blotting showed that PIK3R3 and PI3K expression was clearly decreased in the two LACTB-overexpressing cell lines compared with the control cell lines, whereas the LACTB-knockdown LOVO cells showed high PIK3R3 and PI3K expression. Simultaneously, the levels of p-AKT and mTOR were decreased after LACTB overexpression, and the LACTB-silenced LOVO cells showed increased levels of these proteins. In addition, 4E-BP1 exhibited adverse outcomes (*P<0.05), as determined by Student’s t-test.
