Transmembrane 6 superfamily 1 (TM6SF1) is lowly expressed in lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD), but the function and mechanisms of TM6SF1 remain unclear. Thus, we attempt to explore the function of TM6SF1 and its underlying mechanisms in LUAD. qRT-PCR was used for detecting TM6SF1 mRNA expression. Immunohistochemistry staining was used for detecting the expression of MMP-2, TM6SF1, Ki67, MMP-9, and CD163 proteins. E-cadherin, p-PI3K, Vimentin, AKT, N-cadherin, PI3K, p-AKT, mTOR, p-mTOR, and marker proteins of M2 macrophages were evaluated using Western blot...
