doi: 10.1016/j.ibneur.2026.01.007

Figure Lengend Snippet: TNKS1 can activate the PI3K/AKT pathway by inhibiting the expression of PTEN in glioma cells.Western blotting was used to detect the expression of PTEN in U87 and U251 cell lines (A); the CCK-8 assay was used to measure the viability of U87 and U251 glioma cells treated with different concentrations of LY294002 and 740 Y-P (B); Western blotting was also used to detect the expression of PI3K, p-AKT/AKT in U87 and U251 cell lines (C).*P < 0.05 vs si-NC，@P < 0.05 vs si-NC+Agonist，#P < 0.05 vs si-TNKS1，&P < 0.05 vs OE-TNKS1.

Article Snippet: The cells were then cultured in the incubator for another 12 h. Subsequently, the cells in each well were randomly divided into groups: the si-NC+agonist group, the si-TNKS1 +agonist group, and the OE-TNKS1 +inhibitor group were treated with PI3K agonist 740 Y-P (HY-P0175, MCE, USA) and PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (HY-10108, MCE, USA) and continued to be cultured for 24 h. The TNKS1-siRNA empty vector group (si-NC), the TNKS1-siRNA group (si-TNKS1), and the TNKS1 overexpression group (OE-TNKS1) were treated with an equivalent amount of diluent and continued to be cultured for 24 h.
