Resveratrol has been observed to induce apoptosis in Kaposi sarcoma cells by downregulating the expression of viral FLICE-inhibitory protein (vFLIP) and inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway, which is frequently hyperactivated in AIDS-defining malignancies (Singh and Pai, 2014). This evidence concerns the gene MTOR and Kaposi's sarcoma.
