HnRNP-F promotes the proliferation of bladder cancer cells mediated by PI3K/AKT/FOXO1.

ABSTRACT: Our previous study showed that heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein F (hnRNP-F) could induce epithelial-mesenchymal transition and metastasis in bladder cancer (BC), however, the role and mechanism of hnRNP-F in mediating the proliferative ability of BC cells remain unclear. HnRNP-F promoted the proliferation of BC cells by using BC cell lines and cell counting kit-8 (CCK8), colony formation and flow cytometry assays in vitro. Furthermore, the association of hnRNP-F with the phosphoinositide 3‑kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signalling pathway was confirmed by western blotting after bioinformatic analysis. HnRNP-F expression was significantly decreased by treatment with the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway inhibitor LY294002, whereas hnRNP-F knockdown did not significantly affect
