Pathways that lead to an accumulation of cholesterol: Activation of SREBP transcription factor induces cholesterol. This is induced by activation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, cancer gene RAS, and dysregulation by TP53. The accumulation of cholesterol in the cell promotes survival and inhibits apoptosis. T-bar in red denotes inhibition.
