SPARCL1 inhibits ESCC cell progression by modulating FAK/Akt signaling pathway. (A) GSEA result of SPARCL1; (B) The protein expression levels of SPARCL1 and FAK/Akt signaling pathway-related proteins in ESCC cells upon SPARCL1 overexpression; (C) The protein expression levels of SPARCL1 and FAK/Akt signaling pathway-related proteins in ESCC cells with an addition of p-Akt activator SC-79; (D–F) CCK-8 assay (D), wound healing assay (40×), and (E) Transwell invasion assay (×100) (F) were carried out to evaluate whether SPARCL1 suppresses ESCC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion via FAK/Akt signaling pathway; *p < 0.05.
