A case-control study of 1275 GC patients and 1436 controls was performed to explore the associations of potentially functional SNPs in PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway genes with the risk of GC.
Therefore, how PTEN lipid phosphatase inactivation contributes to the occurrence and development of gastric cancer and the potential role of the Hippo and PI3K/Akt pathways in PTEN lipid phosphatase inactivation mediated gastric tumorigenesis remain to be explored.
Our study aimed to explore the effects of PPIs on reversing multidrug resistance (MDR) to chemotherapy in gastric cancer by inhibiting the expression of V-ATPases and the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/HIF-1α signal pathway.
AdP promoted apoptosis in CDDP-resistant GC cells by suppressing the PI3K/AKT/ARNT signaling pathway and might be considered a candidate agent for the clinical treatment of cisplatin-resistant GC.
Taken together, our findings identify the MUC16-PI3K/Akt/mTOR-Myc axis as a critical signaling cascade that couples genomic mutations to metabolic reprogramming in GC.
The aim of the present study was to investigate the mechanism of microRNA-4295 (miR-4295), which regulates cisplatin (DDP)-induced apoptosis in GC cells through the leucine-rich repeats and immunoglobulin-like domains 1 (LRIG1)-mediated epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway.
Taken together, these data suggest that the combined treatment with PI3K inhibitor BKM120 and PARP inhibitor olaparib may be a promising therapeutic regimen for the treatment of gastric cancer, and ARID1A deficiency could serve as a potential predictive therapeutic biomarker.
Furthermore, overexpression of ciRS-7 blocked the miR-7-induced tumor suppression in MGC-803 and HGC-27 cells and led to a more aggressive oncogenic phenotype, via antagonizing miR-7-mediated PTEN/PI3K/AKT pathway. ciRS-7 may act as a prospective prognostic biological marker and a promising therapeutic target for GC..
A specific phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor, wortmannin, was used to test the effect of PI3K inhibition on the secretion of CCL-2 in gastric cancer.
In addition, the PI3K-Akt and MAPK signaling pathways are involved in the effects of the miR-129-5p/SLC2A3 axis, regulating GC glucose metabolism and growth.
Moreover, we demonstrated that the miR-20a/LRIG1 axis regulated GC cell MDR through epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)-mediated PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways.
Spry2 was a direct target of miR-592 and Spry2 overexpression partially counteracted the effects of miR-592. miR-592 induced the EMT and promoted its progression in GC via the PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK signaling pathways by inhibiting Spry2.
