Fig. 1: Schematic representation for the mechanism of RUN Domain Containing 3A (RUNDC3A)/Synaptosomal-Associated Protein 25 kDa (SNAP25)/Akt axis.

The mechanism of RUNDC3A/SNAP25/Akt axis serves as a switch that regulates Akt activation in gastric neuroendocrine carcinoma (GNEC) progression and chemoresistance by stabilizing cytoplasmic Akt. The curve arrows shown in the diagram indicate as positive effect, and the curve T-shaped line indicates as inhibitory effect. See text for further details, as well as the original study by Chen and colleagues [5].
