Activation of AMPK in cancer cells is associated with inhibition of the mTORC1, c-Myc, and NF-κB pathways and activation of DICER and the p53 pathway, all of which reportedly exert tumor suppressive, anti-proliferative, anti-migratory, and pro-apoptotic effects through various intracellular mediators, activation of anti-oncogenic genes, and downregulation of pro-oncogenic genes [94,95,96,97,98,99,100,101,102,103,104,105]. Here, MYC is linked to cancer.
