Chemical activators of BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C engage distinct cellular signaling pathways to modulate its activity. Forskolin, through the elevation of cyclic AMP levels, triggers a signaling cascade that activates protein kinase A (PKA). PKA is known to phosphorylate BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C, which can enhance its role in cell cycle regulation. Similarly, Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) is a potent activator of protein kinase C (PKC), and upon activation, PKC phosphorylates several substrates including BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C, promoting its anti-proliferative functions. Another chemical, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), operates by inhibiting dihydrofolate reductase, which has downstream effects on nucleotide synthesis and can necessitate the activation of BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C for maintaining proper cell cycle checkpoints.

Resveratrol engages the sirtuin pathway by activating sirtuin 1 (SIRT1), leading to the deacetylation of various proteins, including BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C, potentially enhancing its ability to control cell proliferation. Spermidine contributes to the activation of BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C through the induction of autophagy, a cellular housekeeping process. It achieves this by inhibiting the acetyltransferase EP300, which is implicated in the regulation of stress response pathways including those involving BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C. Lithium chloride acts by inhibiting glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK-3), a kinase involved in the phosphorylation of numerous proteins; this inhibition can lead to the stabilization and activation of BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C. Similarly, sodium butyrate, by inhibiting histone deacetylases, can result in a chromatin state that promotes the expression of genes encoding for proteins like BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C. Retinoic acid, by binding to its specific receptors, can initiate a transcriptional program that supports the expression and activation of BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C. Curcumin engages transcription factors such as NF-kB, which can lead to the expression of genes that work in concert with BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C to regulate cell proliferation. Sulforaphane activates the Nrf2 signaling pathway, which can lead to an upregulation of antioxidant response elements and the activation of BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C as part of the cellular defense mechanism against oxidative stress. Lastly, zoledronic acid and metformin act through the inhibition of farnesyl pyrophosphate synthase and activation of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), respectively. Both of these pathways can lead to the activation of BTG anti-proliferation factor 1C, either through stress response mechanisms or through the upregulation of energy conservation processes in the cell.
