Treatment with everolimus decreases MCL-1 in colorectal carcinomas and small cell lung cancer (SCLC) cells but not glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) cells with a PTEN mutational background.
We also identified protein signatures for GBMs with genetic alterations (IDH mutation, p53 mutation, EGFR amplification or mutation, CDKN2A/CDKN2B deletion, and PTEN mutation) that occur at high frequency.
In addition, miR-29a robustly promotes invasion in PTEN-deficient glioblastoma cells by repressing translation of the Sox4 transcription factor, and this upregulates the invasion-promoting protein, HIC5.
GBM tumors with concurrent EGFR amplification and active phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) are sensitive to the tyrosine kinase inhibitor erlotinib, but the effect is not durable.
Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN) deficiency in primary human glioblastoma (GBM) is associated with increased invasiveness and poor prognosis with unknown mechanisms.
Analyses of human glioblastoma specimens reveals that PGK1 Y324 phosphorylation levels inversely correlate with PTEN expression status and are positively associated with poor prognosis in glioblastoma patients.
NGI-1 sensitizes multiple models of GBM to chemotherapy and radiation <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> and may be especially effective in GBMs that retain active PTEN.<i>See related article by Baro et al., p. 784</i>.
Both PTEN-deficient (U-251) and PTEN-containing (LN229) glioblastoma cells showed a decrease in cell migration velocity in response to SKIP downregulation.
This study aimed to establish a radiomic signature to predict PTEN mutation status in patients with glioblastoma, and to investigate the genetic background behind this radiomic signature.
Gain-of-function and loss-of-function studies indicated that PTEN enhanced the sensitivity of GBM cells to palbociclib <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i>, which was associated with suppressions of Akt and ERK signaling and independent of Rb signaling inhibition.
To identify transcriptomic profiles associated with a hyperactivated PI3K pathway, RNA-sequencing analysis was performed in a glioblastoma cell line stably expressing PTEN.
WITHDRAWAL: Significant effect of anti-tyrosine kinase inhibitor (Gefitinib) on overall survival of the Glioblastoma (GBM) patients in the backdrop of mutational status of EGFR and PTEN genes.
The phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)/phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mTOR pathway has emerged as a crucial player in GBM development and progression.
