We also review the aberrant activated signals found in different subgroups of TNBC, including androgen receptor (AR) and PI3K/AKT/mTOR, Notch, Wnt/β-catenin, Hedge-hog, and TGF-β signaling pathways, which play essential roles in multiple development stages of TNBC.
The addition of PI3K-mTOR inhibitors to cisplatin or paclitaxel increased the activity of chemotherapy in the TNBC and LGSOC models; whereas no added activity was observed in the LADC model.
The overall findings suggest that Chetomin inhibited the growth of human TNBC cells by caspase-dependent apoptosis and modulation of PI3K/mTOR signalling and could be used as a novel chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of human TNBC in future.
Using three-dimensional stromal-TNBC cells cultures, we demonstrate that CXCL12 - CXCR4 signaling significantly increases growth of TNBC cells and drug resistance through activation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathways.
The development of drugs targeting the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway for the treatment of TNBC is an evolving field that should take into account the efficacies and toxicities of new agents in addition to their interactions with different cancer pathways.
In accordance with increased PI3K signaling following long-term CDC25 inhibition, CDC25 and PI3K inhibitors effectively synergized to suppress TNBC growth both in vitro and in xenotransplantation models.
TET1 expression correlated with sensitivity to drugs targeting the PI3K-mTOR pathway, and CRISPR-mediated deletion of TET1 in two independent TNBC cell lines resulted in reduced expression of PI3K pathway genes, upregulation of immune response genes, and substantially reduced cellular proliferation, suggesting dependence of oncogenic pathways on TET1 overexpression.
In the present study, we investigated whether miR-361-5p can act as a tumor suppressor by targeting required for cell differentiation 1 homolog (RQCD1) and inhibiting epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway in TNBC.
CF33 was effective <i>in vitro</i> with potent cytotoxicity and efficient intracellular replication observed in TNBC lines with phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway mutations that resulted in endogenous phospho-Akt (p-Akt) activity (BT549, Hs578T, and MDA-MB-468).
Knockdown of WBP2 inhibited YAP transcription and the EGFR/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in TNBC cells, and these effects were reversed by inhibition of miR-613.
Due to the absence of molecular markers for TNBC his treatment options remains limited, without proven targeted therapies, which emphasize the need for discovering molecular markers that could be targeted for patient treatment, An important number of TNBC cases harbor aberrations in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway, leading to constitutive activation of the downstream signaling pathway.
Poly(ADP‑ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, phosphatidylinositol 3‑kinase (PI3K) inhibitors and carboplatin (CBP) have demonstrated sufficient efficacy and safety for their use as individual drugs for the treatment of TNBC; however, their effects on TNBC when used as a combination have not been investigated.
Mechanistically, DCC-2036 targeted AXL/MET, especially AXL, and regulated the downstream PI3K/Akt-NFκB signaling to exert its antitumor effect in TNBC.
Here, we provide new evidence of the effects of exercise on TNBC prevention, control, and outcomes, based on the inhibition of the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (PKB also known as Akt)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) (PI3K-Akt-mTOR) signaling.
Further study of underlying mechanisms demonstrated that DANCR bound with RXRA and increased its serine 49/78 phosphorylation via GSK3β, resulting in activating PIK3CA transcription, and subsequently enhanced PI3K/AKT signaling and TNBC tumorigenesis.
The present study examined the effects of tetrandrine suppressing proliferation, targeting LC3, p62, and Beclin-1 autophagy genes by inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling in Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) MDA-MB-231 cell.
We review the evidence for PI3K pathway activation in TNBC, and clinical trial data for PI3K, AKT and mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors in TNBC.
<b>Conclusion:</b> We demonstrated that DFO could upregulate expression of TfR1 and DMT1 , which enhanced iron uptake via activating IL-6/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in aggressive TNBCs.
This study provides a preclinical rationale to investigate the therapeutic potential for the combination of PI3K inhibition and eribulin in the difficult to treat TNBC.
