Abstract | ||
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a brutally aggressive cancer that puts a tremendous amount of strain on both the medical systems and the drug regulatory organizations as well. It is believed that a crucial stage in the development of HCC is the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), which increases hepatocyte malignancy and is linked to invasion and metastasis. Resveratrol (RES) has been shown to reverse EMT in a number of cancer types. In order to further understand how RES influences EMT in HCC, we have chosen to concentrate on studying and summarizing the serine/threonine kinase (Akt)/glycogen synthesis kinase 3-beta (GSK3β)/Snail signaling pathway as one of the central pathways involved in activating EMT and tumorigenesis in this review. | ||
