Additionally, treatment with butein significantly increased reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation and reduced the phosphorylation of PI3K, AKT and mTOR expression, which contributes to the inhibition of the tumor growth of cervical cancer and reduction of oxidative stress.
As reported before, aberrant expression of proteins associated with signaling pathways, such as phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase(PI3K), EGF-R, β-catenin, and Erk and Bcl-2 was discovered in CC.
Current research elucidated that MFI2 promoted cell proliferation, cell metastasis and inhibited cell apoptosis in cervical cancer by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.
Inhibition of Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) Signaling Synergistically Potentiates Antitumor Efficacy of Paclitaxel and Overcomes Paclitaxel-Mediated Resistance in Cervical Cancer.
Our study suggests that R7 is a promising chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of cervical cancer and other PI3K/PTEN/Akt/mTOR signaling-associated tumors.
Seventy percent of patients with endometrial cancer and more than 50% of patients with breast, prostate, anal, hepatocellular, colorectal, and cervical cancer exhibited alterations in at least 1 PI3K pathway gene and/or gene product.
Taken together, our data suggest that anti-VEGFa treatment in cervical cancer may inhibit both tumor cell growth and invasion through PI3k/Akt/mTor signaling pathway.
Taken together, these findings indicated that OST could be used as a potential sensitizer to reverse chemoresistance of cisplatin-resistant cervical cancer to cisplatin through repressing NRF2 expression partly associated with PI3K/AKT blockage.
