After HA receptor (CD44)-mediated cellular uptake of the HTsRP-NC by the liver cancer cells, functional expression of AKT siRNA leads to the suppression of metastatic liver cancer growth in a colorectal liver metastasis (CLM) murine model.
Similar results were also seen between liver metastases and primary breast tumors [AKT (S473) <i>P</i> < 0.01, mTOR (S2448) <i>P</i> < 0.01, 4EBP1 (S65) <i>P</i> = 0.01].
Induction of the IL-33/ILC2/IL-13 circuit in a murine biliary injury model promoted epithelial repair; however, induction of this circuit in mice with constitutive activation of AKT and YAP in bile ducts induced cholangiocarcinoma with liver metastases.
