AKT1 and liver cancer: KEGG pathway analysis showed that PI3K-AKT signaling pathway (p = 2.1 × 10−12), cancer pathway (p = 3.8 × 10−10), and MAPK signaling pathway (p = 1.5 × 10−8) are the cores of the top three pathways (Figure 4B), suggesting that cinnamic acid may inhibit liver cancer progression by regulating these pathways.
