[VIRTUAL] Impact of PI3K inhibition in AIs-treated sensitive and resistant breast cancer cells: anti-proliferative effects and induction of apoptosis () - May 30, 2021 - Abstract #EACR2021EACR_1688; The third-generation of aromatase inhibitors (AIs), anastrozole (Ana), letrozole (Let) and exemestane (Exe) are a first-line treatment option for estrogen receptor-positive (ER+ ) breast tumors, in postmenopausal women...Therefore, in this work the combinations of two PI3K class I inhibitors, buparlisib (BKM120) and pictilisib (GDC-0941), with AIs were explored in AIs-sensitive (MCF-7aro) and AIs-resistant (LTEDaro) breast cancer cell models...All the combinations in the resistant cells induced apoptosis, through mitochondrial pathway, with a more pronounced effect for the combinations with Exe. Conclusion Despite the high toxicity associated with the use of PI3K class I inhibitors, these results support further studies combining new, less toxic and specific PI3K class I inhibitors with AIs, especially with Exe, in refractory ER+ tumors The authors thank Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia (FCT) for T.
