Role of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in hepatocellular carcinoma

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Akt, and the mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway is shown to play a key role in the tumorigenesis, proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, and angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by regulating gene expression. The components and fun...

Description
Summary:Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, Akt, and the mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/Akt/mTOR) signaling pathway is shown to play a key role in the tumorigenesis, proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, and angiogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) by regulating gene expression. The components and functions of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway are briefly described, and the research advances in the action mechanism of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway in the progression of HCC and related inhibitors are reviewed. It is disclosed that blocking the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway may become a new therapy for HCC.
