Abstract excerpt
The AKT signaling pathway is activated in soft tissue sarcoma (STS). However, AKT blockade has not yet been studied as a potential targeted therapeutic approach. Here, we examined the in vitro and in vivo effects of AKT inhibition in STS cells. Western blot analysis was used to evaluate the expression of AKT pathway components and the effect of AKT stimulation and inhibition on their phosphorylation. Cell culture...
