AKT1 and cancer: One logical approach to reducing the incidence of cancer appears to be the targeting of critical parts of apoptosis regulatory pathways, including the IAPs (in particular XIAP, cIAP1, and cIAP2), the anti-apoptotic Bcl-2 family of proteins, nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB), survivin, tyrosine kinases, caspases, and critical signaling pathways (phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT, STAT3/5, and MAPK pathways) [7,13,20,106,107,108,109,110,111,112].
