Effects of Serpinc1 gene overexpression on the expression of genes and proteins involved in cellular migration, invasion, cycle, and apoptosis. (A) N-cadherin, E-cadherin, p53, Survivin, CyclinD1, Bcl-2, and Bax mRNA in non-transfected blank, empty vector control, and Serpinc1 overexpressing cells (n = 3). (B) Expression levels of N-cadherin, E-cadherin, p53, Survivin, CyclinD1, Bcl-2, and Bax proteins were determined by Western blotting (n = 3). (C) The phosphorylation of Pi3K and AKT was determined by Western blot analysis (n = 3). p-values were analyzed by two-way ANOVA with Tukey’s multiple comparisons; comparison between the control vector and Serpinc1 overexpression. *p< 0.05, **p< 0.01, ***p< 0.001, ****p< 0.0001. Bcl-2, B-cell lymphoma 2; Bax, Bcl-2-associated X protein; AKT, protein kinase B; Pi3K, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase.
