Fig. 6From: Transmembrane protein 176B regulates amino acid metabolism through the PI3K-Akt-mTOR signaling pathway and promotes gastric cancer progressionmTOR inhibitors partially reverse the malignant GC-promoting effect of TMEM176B overexpression. A The efficiency of mTOR inhibition by rapamycin was measured in AGS cell lines overexpressing TMEM176B. B, C Impact of rapamycin on the clonogenic potential of AGS cell lines overexpressing TMEM176B. D, E Impact of rapamycin on the proliferation of AGS cell lines overexpressing TMEM176B was assessed by EdU assay. F, G Impact of rapamycin on migration and invasion of AGS cell lines overexpressing TMEM176B was assessed by Transwell assay. H, I Impact of rapamycin on apoptosis in AGS cell lines overexpressing TMEM176B.
