Figure Lengend Snippet: EIF3B interacts with METTL3 and activates EGFR/AKT signaling in cervical cancer cells. (A) Representative western blots of co-immunoprecipitation assay. (B) Effect of EIF3B on EGFR mRNA expression in HeLa and SiHa cell lines. (C and D) Effects of EIF3B on EGFR protein and p-AKT expression. (C) Representative western blots and (D) quantification of EGFR protein and p-AKT expression in HeLa and SiHa cell lines. EIF3B, eukaryotic translation initiation factor 3B; METTL3, methyltransferase-like 3; p-, phosphorylated; si-, small interfering; oe-, overexpressing; NC, negative control. *P<0.05, **P<0.01 and ***P<0.001.
