However, the authors reported a partial association between this pathway and the apoptotic effect of epigallocatechin gallate because in the presence of specific inhibitors for Akt, ERK1/2, and p38, mitogenactivated protein kinase did not inhibit apoptosis of HT-29 cell. Zhang et al. [74] evaluated the effect of epigallocatechin gallate in HCCLM6 hepatocellular carcinoma cell and HL7702 noncancerous liver cell line.
