<b>Background</b>: The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway is hyperactivated in lung cancer and regulates a broad range of cellular processes, including proliferation, survival, angiogenesis, and metastasis.
Overexpression of FER1L4 led to a reduction in the expression levels of phosphoinositide 3‑kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) in A549 and 95D cells, whereas, activation of PI3K/Akt signaling using a small molecular inhibitor of phosphatase and tensin homolog, reversed the inhibitory effects of FER1L4 on cell proliferation and metastasis.
Pharmacologic inhibition of BRD4 using JQ1 and/or PI3K using dual PI3K/BRD4 inhibitor SF2523 (previously reported by our group as a potent inhibitor to block tumor growth and metastasis in various cancer models) suppresses tumor growth in syngeneic and spontaneous murine cancer models; reduces infiltration of myeloid-derived suppressor cells; blocks polarization of immunosuppressive MΘs; restores CD8<sup>+</sup> T-cell activity; and stimulates antitumor immune responses.
Blockade of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway by using mTOR inhibitor partially abolished the enhanced effects of DLX6-AS1 overexpression on CRC cell proliferation and metastasis.
Among patients with EGFR mutation and distant metastasis, median PFS was decreased in those with co-mutations (6.3 months [95% CI 3.25-9.35] vs 22.0 months[95% CI 12.10-31.90]; HR 0.12 [95% CI 0.00-5.87]; p = 0.007) and frequency of PIK3CA (0% [0/12] vs 41.7% [5/12], p = 0.037) and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway genes (0% [0/12] vs 50% [6/12], p = 0.014) was lower.
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), on the other hand, has been shown to play a key role in the tumorigenesis, proliferation, metastasis, apoptosis, and angiogenesis of HCC by regulating gene expression.
The results also demonstrated that the overexpression of CLDN12 increased the activation of Thr308 site in Akt in fetal osteoblast cells, and the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 partially decreased CLDN12-promoted proliferation and metastasis.
Here we demonstrate that PTEN plays an unexpected role in regulating its own stability through the transcriptional upregulation of the deubiquitinase USP11 by the PI3K/FOXO pathway, and further show that this feedforward mechanism is implicated in its tumor-suppressive role, as mice lacking Usp11 display increased susceptibility to PTEN-dependent tumor initiation, growth and metastasis.
STAT3-induced upregulation of lncRNA SNHG17 predicts a poor prognosis of melanoma and promotes cell proliferation and metastasis through regulating PI3K-AKT pathway.
Coadministration of chemotherapy and PI3K/Akt pathway treatment with multistage acidity/CathB enzyme-responsive nanocarriers for inhibiting the metastasis of breast cancer.
Cells treated with BCP, in a dose-dependent manner, exhibited morphological changes, showed lower cell growth, underwent apoptosis and lost the ability to metastasis through the suppression of NF-ҡ B via PI3K/AKT signalling pathway.
One hundred twenty-three patients were evaluated and the PIK3CA-H1047R mutation was assayed in sentinel LNs (SLNs), non-SLNs without metastasis, and serum by digital PCR.
<i>CHL1</i> suppresses tumor growth and metastasis in nasopharyngeal carcinoma by repressing PI3K/AKT signaling pathway via interaction with Integrin β1 and Merlin.
The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT), Mitogen-activated protein kinases (MAPK), and p53/p21 signal pathways play an important role in carcinogenesis, progression, and metastasis of carcinoma cells.
These results suggested that TPT1-AS1 induced EOC tumor growth and metastasis through TPT1 and downstream PI3K/AKT signaling and that TPT1-AS1 may be a promising therapeutic target for EOC.
