LRRC8A maintains cellular homeostasis of CC cells under the hypotonic condition. (A, B) Swelling analysis of CC cells with LRRC8A overexpression or knockdown under the the hypotonic condition. Scale bar, 10 μm. (C, D) CCK-8 assays detecting the survivals of CC cells with LRRC8A overexpression or knockdown upon the hypotonic treatment. (E) Changes of protein levels of p-PI3K p-AKT, PI3K, AKT and Caspase-3 in HeLa and SiHa cells upon LRRC8A knockdown. (F) Protein levels of p-PI3K, p-AKT, PI3K, AKT and in LRRC8A-depleted CC cells with or without SC79 treatment. Data are presented as means ± S.D: **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001.
