The AKT inhibitor capivasertib has shown preclinical activity in TNBC models, and drug sensitivity has been associated with activation of PI3K or AKT and/or deletions of PTEN.
This review will focus on recent therapeutic innovations for TNBC, including poly-ADP-ribosyl polymerase (PARP) inhibitors, phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway inhibitors, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors.
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.
The mutational profile of TNBC during treatment as inferred from patterns of mutant allele frequencies in matched pre-and post-NAC samples showed that RD harbored alterations of cell cycle progression, PI3K/Akt/mTOR, and EGFR tyrosine kinase inhibitor-resistance pathways.
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.
This review discusses the potentials and drug discovery perspectives of PI3K/AKT/mTOR as a therapeutic target for effective management of TNBC with anticipated challenges.
Consequently, targeted therapies based on the interaction of PI3K inhibition with BRCA1 mutations or HR deficiency in TNBC may be a promising strategy for the treatment of patients with TNBC.
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.
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.
<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.
Mechanistically, DCC-2036 targeted AXL/MET, especially AXL, and regulated the downstream PI3K/Akt-NFκB signaling to exert its antitumor effect in TNBC.
TBCRC 032 IB/II Multicenter Study: Molecular insights to AR antagonist and PI3K inhibitor efficacy in patients with AR+ metastatic triple-negative breast cancer.
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.
BRCA1 and MED12 were frequently mutated in triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) patients, PIK3CA and FAT1 mutations were frequent in HR+ patients, and PIK3CA and ERBB2 mutations were frequent in HER2+ patients.
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.
