Abstract
The PI3-kinase/AKT pathway integrates signals from external cellular stimuli to regulate essential cellular functions, and is frequently aberrantly activated in human cancers. Recent research demonstrates that tight regulation of the epigenome is critical in preserving and restricting transcriptional activation, which can impact cellular growth and proliferation. In this review we examine mechanisms by which the PI3K/AKT pathway regulates the epigenome to promote oncogenesis, and highlight how connections between PI3K/AKT and the epigenome may impact the future therapeutic treatment of cancers featuring a hyperactivated PI3K/AKT pathway.
