For example, in brown adipocytes of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway leads to decreased levels of PERK phosphorylation; downregulates the expression of ATF4 and CHOP; decreases the phosphorylation levels of IRE1, GRP78, and XBP1; and antagonizes the effects of the ERS inducer tunicamycin (Winnay et al., 2020). Here, AKT1 is linked to hepatocellular carcinoma.
