Article Title: Silencing c-Jun inhibits autophagy and abrogates radioresistance in nasopharyngeal carcinoma by activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway
doi: 10.21037/atm-21-2563
Figure Lengend Snippet: Dual-luciferase reporter assay verified that c-Jun targeted PI3K/AKT. (A) CNE-2R cells cotransfected with the PI3KCG or AKT1 promoter construct and TFS-c-Jun were observed by inverted fluorescence microscopy (magnification ×100). (B,C) CNE-2R cells were cotransfected with c-Jun and different PI3KCG or AKT1 promoter-driven luciferase plasmids for 48 hours, and luciferase activity was determined by a luciferase reporter assay kit (*, P<0.05 compared with the control).
Article Snippet: Reporter genes, including the promoter AKT1 (42409-1) and promoter PIK3CG (42408-1), were constructed by GeneChem (Shanghai, China), and CNE-2R cells were cotransfected with luciferase reporters and the c-Jun mimic.
