Akt isoform-specific effects on thyroid cancer development and progression. PVPV-AktWT (●), PVPV-Akt1KO (○), PVPV-Akt2KO (), and PVPV-Akt3KO (). A minimum of three mice were sacrificed at 3 months and seven mice at 6, 9, and 12 months for each genotype. Tumor development (A; #p = 0.053) and capsular invasion (B; *p = 0.012) trended toward or were significantly delayed/reduced only in the PVP-Akt1KO mice, respectively. Vascular invasion (C; *p < 0.05; **p = 0.061) and lung metastasis (D; *p = 0.018; ***p = 0.004) were decreased with loss of Akt isoforms vs control. (E) shows mouse number of each age for each genotype. Graph images were created using Graphpad Prism version 8.4.2 (https://graphad.com).
