Progress in role of PI3K/Akt-related signaling pathways in pathophysio-logical mechanism of neural cells
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K)/protein kinase B(PKB/Akt)signaling pathway plays an important role in various biological processes,including cell growth,proliferation,differentiation,and apoptosis.The PI3K/Akt-related signaling pathways have been extensively studied,and they regulate neural cells to exert different or simi-lar functions.This study reviews the research progress on PI3K/Akt-related signaling pathways in apoptosis,autophagy,oxidative stress,neuroinflammation,and other pathophysiological mechanisms in neural cells.
