MTOR and cancer: In A549 cells, BV decreased the phosphorylation of extracellular-regulated kinase (ERK), c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK), focal adhesion kinase (FAK) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), and eventually provoked the decrease of the transcription factors zinc finger E-box-binding homeobox 2 (ZEB2) and Slug in the EMT, suggesting its potential function in anti-cancer cell metastasis (Jeong et al., 2019).
