To elucidate the possible role of aalpha3, alpha5 and alpha7 nAChR subunit mediated PI3-K/Akt/PTEN pathway activation in squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (HNSCC) development, mRNA was isolated from 30 HNSCC tissues of known Akt activation state and were analyzed by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).
