Additionally, as reported, the NF‐κB signalling, Akt/GSK‐3β/Snail signalling or transcription factor ZEB1 was also demonstrated to function importantly in AKIP1‐mediated tumour progression and metastasis.9, 10, 11 Consequently, we will further assess whether other genes or certain signalling pathways are involved in AKIP1‐induced EMT in subsequent studies. Here, NFKB1 is linked to neoplasm.
