However, we additionally explored the effects of KP at non-cytotoxic concentrations in modulating growth and survival signaling of cervical cancer cells, and major signal transduction pathways relevant to cell growth and cell survival including the MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways were investigated and in particular the inhibitory effects of KP on growth and survival signaling over the influence of EGF was explored. This evidence concerns the gene EGF and cervical carcinoma.
