Figure Lengend Snippet: PDIA3 regulates the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in OSCC. (A) The mRNA expression of PI3KCD, AKT1-3, and mTOR in OSCC and normal tissues. (B) A heatmap showing the expression levels of PI3KCD, AKT1-3, and mTOR across PDIA3 high and PDIA3 low OSCC tissues. Red: high expression level; blue: low expression level. (C) The correlation between PDIA3 and PI3KCD, AKT1-3, or mTOR was analyzed by Spearman's correlation analysis. (D and E) PDIA3 was silenced by siRNA transfection (siPDIA3). Cells transfected with non-targeting siRNA (siNC) and untreated cells (ctrl) were used as controls. The levels of phosphor-AKT and total AKT were measured by immunoblotting in (D) CAL27 and (E) SCC25 cells. *, P < 0.05, **, P < 0.01, ***, P < 0.001. A P < 0.05 is significantly different.
Article Snippet: After overnight incubation at 4 °C with rabbit polyclonal anti-PDIA3 primary antibody (1:300, Proteintech, USA), the slides were incubated with HRP-goat anti-rabbit IgG secondary antibody (Boster Biological Technology Co. Ltd, China) at 37 °C for 30 min and washed with PBS three times.
