AKT1 and cancer: It is plausible that TG2 mediated activation of NF-κB might payback by upregulation of TG2, and create a feed-forward loop involving phospho-TG2-NF-κB-TG2 leading to sustained inhibition of PTEN and constitutive activation of Akt in cancers characterized by TG2 upregulation along with constitutive activation of NF-κB.
