AKT1 and hepatocellular carcinoma: Considering Cx32 genes’ tumor-suppressing effects and their involvement in various processes (tumorigenesis, cell proliferation, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis) [60,61], several studies have been conducted investigating the association between Cx32 expression patterns and established mechanisms related to carcinogenesis (e.g., EMT, PI3K/Akt pathway, necroptosis/apoptosis), in order to establish its potential use as a diagnostic and prognostic marker in HCC [59,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,71,72,73,74].
