Journal: Marmoset Viral Hepatic Inflammation Induced by Hepatitis C Virus Core Protein via IL-32. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 By KEGG enrichment analysis and using the specific signaling pathway inhibitor LY294002 for inhibition of PI3K, IL-32 expression was significantly reduced (P < 0.001). In conclusion, HCV core protein induces an increase of IL-32 expression via the PI3K pathway in hepatic cells, which played a major role in development of HCV-related severe hepatitis.

When each of PIK3CB, Abl1, and Src/Hck is suppressed, macrophage podosome formation, matrix degradation, and chemotactic migration are inhibited. Thus, Src/Hck-mediated Abl1 Tyr488 phosphorylation triggers PIK3CB-dependent PI(3,4,5)P3 production and orchestrates the assembly and function of macrophage podosome.

Journal: VEGF Production Is Regulated by the AKT/ERK1/2 Signaling Pathway and Controls the Proliferation of Toxoplasma gondii in ARPE-19 Cells. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 The anti-VEGF agent bevacizumab or VEGF siRNA transfection prominently inhibited the activation of p-AKT and p-ERK1/2, but not p-p38 MAPK and JNK1/2 in T. gondii-infected ARPE-19 cells...VEGF-receptor 2 (VEGF-R2) antagonist, SU5416, attenuated VEGF production and tachyzoite proliferation in T. gondii-infected ARPE-19 cells in a dose-dependent manner...VEGF and VEGF-R2 control the parasite proliferation in T. gondii-infected ARPE-19 cells. From this study, we revealed the putative mechanisms for VEGF induction as well as the existence of positive feedback between VEGF and PI3K/MAPK signaling pathways in T. gondii-infected retinal pigment epithelium.

Journal: miR-132-3p priming enhances the effects of mesenchymal stromal cell-derived exosomes on ameliorating brain ischemic injury. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 In terms of the mechanism, it is at least partly due to the miR221 transferred by GATA4-Exo, which inhibits PTEN expression, activates the phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway, and subsequently alleviates apoptosis of myocardial cells (CMs). Our results suggest that miR-132-3p promotes the beneficial effects of MSC-EXs on brain ischemic injury through protecting cerebral EC functions.

Journal: IL-17F facilitates prostate cancer cell malignant phenotypes via activation of the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 LY294002 (the inhibitor of the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway) could reverse the facilitating effects of IL-17F treatment on PCa cell viability, proliferation, migration, invasion and stemness. Taken together, current study revealed that IL-17F facilitated PCa cell malignant phenotypes via activation of the PI3K/AKT signalling pathway, offering a potential therapeutic target for PCa.

Preclinical, Journal: Angelica dahurica promoted angiogenesis and accelerated wound healing in db/db mice via the HIF-1α/PDGF-β signaling pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 dahurica activated the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs), which was abrogated by the PI3K inhibitor LY294002...In summary, A. dahurica promoted angiogenesis of HUVECs in vitro by promoting signaling via the HIF-1α/PDGF-β pathway, efficiently enhancing vascularization in regenerated tissue and facilitating wound healing in vivo. The results revealed that A. dahurica has potential as a therapy for vessel injury-related wounds.

Preclinical, Journal: PI3K inhibitor reduces in vitro maturation and developmental competence of porcine oocytes. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 LY-294002 treatment decreased the developmental potential of blastocysts following parthenogenetic activation, increased the level of cell apoptosis and reduced the level of cell-cycle. This study revealed that inhibiting the PI3K signaling pathway could reduce in vitro maturation and developmental competence of porcine oocytes, probably by reducing cell cycle arrest and proliferation, promoting the oocyte apoptosis, and altering the expression of other maternal genes.

Review, Journal: Ras, PI3K and mTORC2 - three's a crowd? (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 Recently, the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) was identified as an evolutionarily conserved Ras effector...Interestingly, data suggest that Ras and PI3K are both direct regulators of mTORC2 but that they act on distinct pools of mTORC2: Ras activates mTORC2 at the plasma membrane, whereas PI3K activates mTORC2 at intracellular compartments. Consequently, we propose a model to explain how Ras and PI3K can differentially regulate mTORC2, and highlight the diversity in the mechanisms of mTORC2 regulation, which appear to be determined by the stimulus, cell type, and the molecularly and spatially distinct mTORC2 pools.

Our findings demonstrate that NRF2-mediated LOC344887 upregulation contributes to the antifibrotic potential of SFN by repressing the expression of CDH2 and other fibrotic genes, providing novel insight into how NRF2 controls the regulatory networks of IPF. This study provides a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms of NRF2 activators against pulmonary fibrosis and presents a novel therapeutic axis for prevention and intervention of fibrosis-related diseases.
- |||||||||| Journal: Calcitriol Suppresses HIF-1 and HIF-2 Transcriptional Activity by Reducing HIF-1/2α Protein Levels via a VDR-Independent Mechanism. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021
At the same time, calcitriol significantly reduces the phosphorylation of Akt protein kinase and its downstream targets and suppresses HIF-1/2α protein synthesis by inhibiting HIF1A and EPAS1 (Endothelial PAS domain-containing protein 1) mRNA translation, without affecting their mRNA levels. On the basis of the acquired data, it can be proposed that calcitriol reduces HIF-1α and HIF-2α protein levels and inhibits HIF-1 and HIF-2 transcriptional activity by a VDR-independent, nongenomic mechanism that involves inhibition of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and suppression of HIF1A and EPAS1 mRNA translation.

(Pubmed Central) - Jun 22, 2021 In vitro investigation revealed that tamoxifen can have agonistic in addition to antagonistic effects, which could be the reason patient was not responding to combination of trametinib and tamoxifen. Our current observations suggest that drugs with different mechanisms of action targeting the same receptor may have markedly different anti-cancer activity when used in combinations.

However, as RTK/PI3K/mTOR is one of the pivotal pathways regulating cell growth and survival in cancer biology, targeting still remains a strong rationale for developing strategies against gliomas. Future rigorous clinical studies, aimed at addressing the tumor heterogeneity, the interaction with the microenvironment, as well as diverse posology adjustments, are needed-which might unravel the therapeutic efficacy and response prediction of an RTK/PI3K/mTOR-based approach.
