Journal: Estradiol-Induced MMP-9 Expression via PELP1-Mediated Membrane-Initiated Signaling in ERα-Positive Breast Cancer Cells. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 2, 2020 E-bovine serum albumin (BSA), a large molecular membrane-impenetrable conjugate of E, can also upregulate MMP-9 protein expression in MCF-7, and the action of E-BSA can be abolished by PI3K inhibitor LY294002; treating MCF-7 simultaneously with PELP1-shRNA and LY294002 did not show synergetic inhibitory effect on E-BSA-induced MMP-9 expression. Our results indicated that estrogen-induced MMP-9 expression in ER-positive breast cancer cells may be through PELP1-mediated PI3K/Akt signaling pathway.
- |||||||||| Journal: MAP2K4 interacts with Vimentin to activate the PI3K/AKT pathway and promotes breast cancer pathogenesis. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 1, 2020
Our studies demonstrated that MAP2K4 has the potential to serve as an oncogene in breast cancer and it activates the phosphorylated PI3K/AKT signaling pathway to activate downstream cycle-associated proteins and EMT signals while interacting with Vimentin to promote breast cancer cells proliferation, migration, and invasion. In our study, MAP2K4 and Vimentin co-expression is confirmed to be an unfavorable factor in breast cancer.

Preclinical, Journal: GPR174 suppression attenuates retinopathy in angiotensin II (Ang II)-treated mice by reducing inflammation via PI3K/AKT signaling. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 1, 2020 The in vitro data showed that pre-treatment of PI3 K/AKT specific inhibitor LY294002 remarkably abrogated GPR174 over-expression-accelerated expression levels of Iba-1, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin (IL)-6 in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-incubated retinal microglial cells.Furthermore, in LPS-exposed retinal microglial cells, PI3 K/AKT and NF-κB pathways were further promoted by GPR174 over-expression, which were significantlyabolished by LY294002. Thus, GPR174 might be a positive meditator of inflammation, contributing to Ang II-induced retinopathy by activating PI3 K/AKT signaling, and could be considered as a novel therapeutic target for the treatment of hypertensive retinopathy.

Journal: Salidroside induces apoptosis and protective autophagy in human gastric cancer AGS cells through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Oct 1, 2020 Furthermore, treatment with the autophagy inhibitor chloroquine enhanced salidroside-induced cell apoptosis, indicating that the autophagy mediated by salidroside may protect AGS cells from death...The above findings indicate that salidroside inhibited the growth of gastric cancer and induced apoptosis and protective autophagy through the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. In summary, our study provides novel insights regarding the activity of salidroside against gastric cancer and contributes to the clinical application of salidroside combined with autophagy inhibitors as a chemotherapeutic strategy for human gastric cancer.

Journal: Facilitating Granule Cell Survival and Maturation in Dentate Gyrus With Baicalin for Antidepressant Therapeutics. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 30, 2020 PI3K inhibitor LY292002 and AKT inhibitor Perifosine were administered to HT-22 cells to explore the relationship between the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway and baicalin...These results demonstrate that baicalin can alleviate chronic CORT-induced depressive-like behaviors through promoting survival and maturation of adult-born hippocampal granule cells and exhibiting protective effect on hippocampal neuron morphology. We propose the underlying mechanisms involve the activation of the PI3K/AKT/GSK3β/β-catenin pathway.

The mechanism might be related to the increased protein expression of p-PI3K/p-Akt, which accompanied by decreased expression of p-IKKα/β, p-NF-κB, FoxO1, Bim, Bax and Cleaved-caspase-3 in the hippocampus. Thus, therapeutic interventions of SA targeting the PI3K/Akt pathway might be a novel approach to ameliorateEBIvia reducing the apoptosis and inflammation afterSAH.

(Pubmed Central) - Sep 27, 2020 The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) coordinates cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism with environmental inputs, yet how extracellular stimuli such as growth factors (GFs) activate mTORC2 remains enigmatic...This CD146-mediated mTORC2 activation in response to GF stimulation promotes cell proliferation and survival. Therefore, our findings identify a molecular mechanism by which extracellular stimuli regulate mTORC2 activity, linking environmental cues with mTORC2 regulation.
