The mTOR signaling pathway plays an important role in the development of laryngeal carcinoma. The mTOR shRNA we designed in this experiment effectively inhibited the mTOR signaling pathway. It inhibited the proliferation and invasive ability of the studied laryngeal carcinoma cells and induced their apoptosis in vitro. mTOR might therefore be a useful target in the therapy of laryngeal carcinoma.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
