Our current and past findings also suggest that, in addition to some of the mentioned pathways, which are inhibited by bacterial CDPs, such as the AMPK and PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling transduction networks (24), aimed at inhibiting the pathways that lead to cancer by altering a large number of cellular processes that lead to the orderly death of cancer cells. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is cancer.
