Abstract
The PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in numerous physiological and pathological processes, including cell proliferation, apoptosis, differentiation, and metabolic regulation. Aberrant activation of the PI3K/AKT pathway is intricately linked to development of tumor. GSK-3β, belonging to the serine/threonine protein kinase family, is crucial in the pathogenesis of liver cancer. As a key rate-limiting enzyme in the glucose metabolism pathway, GSK-3β significantly impacts the growth, proliferation, metastasis, and apoptosis of liver cancer cells. It is also implicated in chemotherapy resistance. Elevated expression of GSK-3β diminishes the sensitivity of liver cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents, thereby playing a substantial role in the development of drug resistance. Consequently, targeting of GSK-3β, particularly within the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, is regarded as a promising therapeutic strategy for liver cancer. The precise identification and subsequent modulation of this pathway represent a substantial potential for innovative clinical interventions in the management of liver cancer.
