Chemotherapy

 

Colorectal cancer

Bevacizumab (Anti-VEGF)

Promotes cell proliferation and migration due to reduced oxygen levels

Cisplatin

Promotes cell proliferation

Facilitates the activation of MAPK signaling pathway

Colorectal cancer

Oxaliplatin

Compromises apoptosis

Activates the PI3K-Akt signaling to upregulate P-glycoprotein

HCC

Paclitaxel

Upregulates the expression of pro-survival proteins like P-glycoprotein and Bcl-2 that enhance cell viability

Lung adenocarcinoma

EGFR TKI

Activates the Jun-Axl-Erk signaling to enhance cell survival

Promotes colony formation

Suppresses apoptosis

Drives cell cycle progression from G1 to S phase

Enhances migratory and invasive ability of tumour cells
