The PI3K/AKT signalling pathway is involved in tumorigenesis and activates the expression of downstream genes or proteins to induce cell proliferation, regulate downstream apoptotic or anti‐apoptotic genes, mediate haematopoiesis and angiogenesis, and increase oxygen utilization by tumour cells by regulating glucose transport and glycolysis‐associated enzymes.27 This evidence concerns the gene AKT1 and neoplasm.
