Here we identified the molecular mechanism that limits the efficacy of the beta-sparing PI3Ki, Taselisib (GDC0032), in PIK3CA-mutated OC cell lines (IGROV1 and OAW42) that acquired resistance to GDC0032.
Here, we outline the importance of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in OC tumorigenesis, proliferation and progression, and pre-clinical and clinical experience with several PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors in OC.
Here, we show that dual inhibition of PI3K/mTOR in ovarian cancer-spheroids leads to death of inner matrix-deprived cells, whereas matrix-attached cells are resistant.
Identification of the IGF1/PI3K/NF κB/ERK gene signalling networks associated with chemotherapy resistance and treatment response in high-grade serous epithelial ovarian cancer.
In conclusion, the results of the present study demonstrated that PI3K/AKT and Rab25 significantly contributed to cisplatin resistance in human epithelial ovarian cancer; in addition, silencing Rab25 or inhibiting the PI3K/AKT pathway markedly increased the sensitivity of these cells to cisplatin.
Interaction between PIK3CArs3976507 and rs6443626 loci, and factors such as BMI, number of liveborn, tobacco, alcohol, and family history of ovarian cancer are associated with ovarian cancer risk.
Likewise, the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway is also a central regulator of the ovarian cancer.
Notably, peptide 17, a YAP inhibitor, exerted a significant attenuating effect on OC progression by diminishing the activation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway in vitro as well as in vivo.
Notably, reduced expression of miRNA‑21 replicated the effect of celastrol on OVCAR3 cells and inhibited the PI3K/p‑Akt‑NF‑κB signaling pathway in an in vitro model of ovarian carcinoma.
Our findings indicate that the adverse prognosis associated with TP53 and PIK3CA mutations in human cancers can be functionally replicated in mouse models of type I→type II OvCA progression.
Our findings suggest that the PI3K/Akt-Sp1 pathway is involved in resistin-induced VEGF expression in HO-8910 cells and indicates that antiangiogenesis therapy may be beneficial treatment against ovarian epithelial carcinoma, especially in obese patients.
Our results indicate that FAK inhibition can suppress ovarian cancer cells migration and invasion through inhibiting downstream signaling (PI3K/AKT), which might be a therapeutic target or biomarker for ovarian cancer.
Our results underline the prognostic significance of PIK3CA in ovarian carcinoma and argue against a simple linear model of PIK3CA gain/amplification followed by PI3K activation and consecutive AKT phosphorylation in ovarian carcinoma.
