Besides, we found that silenced DLEU1 significantly decreased insulin-like growth factor 1 receptor (IGF-1R) expression (a target of miR-133a) and its downstream signal PI3K/AKT pathway in HCC cells, while miR-133a inhibitor partially reversed this trend.
Here, we found that GL-V9, a newly synthesized flavonoid compound, had a potent to inhibit the activation of AKT1 and induce the cell apoptosis in T-cell malignancies including cell lines and primary lymphoblastic leukemia.
