Mutations of the isocitrate dehydrogenase (IDH) gene are common genetic mutations in human malignancies. Increasing evidence indicates that IDH play critical roles malignant transformation and progression. However, therapeutic options for IDH-mutated cancers remain limited. In this study, investigation patient cohorts revealed PI3K/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathways were enhanced cancer cells.In we investigated expression profile cells using RNA sequencing after depletion AKT. Gene...
