BAP31 promoted HCC progression via AKT/β-catenin/Snail pathway. (A,B) Western blot analysis showing protein expression of phosphorylated AKT, pan-AKT, β-catenin and BAP31 in HCC cells with overexpression and knockdown of BAP31. (C,D) Transwell assay analysis of the migratory and invasive abilities in Li-7 and Huh7 cells, which were divided into four groups: vector, BAP31 (DMSO-control), BAP31 (MK2206 2.5 μM) and BAP31 (MK2206 5 μM). (E) Fold change of Snail (SNAIL1) and E-cadherin (CDH1) mRNA expression in Li-7 and Huh7 cell, which were divided into four groups: vector, BAP31 (DMSO-control), BAP31 (MK2206 2.5 μM) and BAP31 (MK2206 5 μM). Results were presented as mean ± SD and t-test was conducted between vector and BAP31 (DMSO-control), BAP31 (DMSO-control) and BAP31 (MK2206 2.5 μM/5 μM) group (n = 3, *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01).
