Saposin C promotes survival and prevents apoptosis via PI3K/Akt-dependent pathway in prostate cancer cells.

abstract：:The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which exists in two functionally distinct complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2 plays an important role in tumor growth. Whereas the role of mTORC1 has been well characterized in this process, little is known about the functions of mTORC2 in cancer progression. In this study, we explor...
