In the orchestration of cancer pathogenesis, the PTEN\/PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR signaling cascade plays a pivotal role, where aberrant activation or dysregulation of this pathway drastically accelerates tumor cell proliferation, survival, and metabolic reprogramming, thereby driving tumorigenesis. Moreover, non-coding microRNAs (miRNAs) have emerged as key modulators involved in regulating this pathway, functioning as either oncogenes or tumor suppressors to determine cancer cell fate. Previous studies have demonstrated that kaempferol and its derivatives, owing to their molecular structures, suppress the PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR signaling pathway either directly or indirectly, thereby playing a critical role in inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. Hence, this comprehensive review elucidates the therapeutic potential of kaempferol and its derivatives, focusing specifically on their molecular mechanisms in modulating the PTEN\/PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR pathway. Furthermore, this review highlights the crosstalk between kaempferol and the specific miRNAs targeting these signaling components in various cancer types.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ijms27167420","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]],"date-time":"2026-08-19T13:14:01Z","timestamp":1787145241000},"page":"7420","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Regulatory Roles of Kaempferol on the PI3K\/AKT\/mTOR Signaling Pathway and Associated MicroRNAs in Different Cancer Types"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"\u00d6nder","family":"Yumruta\u015f","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Medicine, University of Ad\u0131yaman, Ad\u0131yaman 02200, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Miguel","family":"Rios","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biology, Faculty of Chemistry and Biology, Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Santiago 9170022, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"P\u0131nar","family":"Yumruta\u015f","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Ad\u0131yaman University, Ad\u0131yaman 02200, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6775-8033","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Murat","family":"Korkmaz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Biology, Faculty of Medicine, Gaziantep Islam Science and Technology University, Gaziantep 27010, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jorge","family":"Escobar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biological Chemistry Laboratory, Faculty of Sciences, Pontifical Catholic University of Valpara\u00edso, Valpara\u00edso 2340000, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4656-3402","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ali","family":"Parlar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pharmacology, Faculty of Medicine, Ad\u0131yaman University, Ad\u0131yaman 02200, Turkey"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jose L.","family":"Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Metallurgical Engineering, Faculty of Engineering, Universidad de Santiago de Chile, Santiago 9170022, Chile"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"141","article-title":"Investigation of cytotoxic effect of salvia pilifera extracts and synthetic chlorogenic and caffeic acids on DU145 prostate cancer cells line","volume":"21","author":"Pehlivan","year":"2018","journal-title":"Kahramanmara\u015f S\u00fct\u00e7\u00fc \u0130mam \u00dcniversitesi Tar\u0131m Do\u011fa Derg."},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"284","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jss.2018.08.009","article-title":"Wound healing effect of kaempferol in diabetic and nondiabetic rats","volume":"233","author":"Yildirim","year":"2019","journal-title":"J.
