Journal: A Nuclear lncRNA Linc00839 as a Myc target to promote breast cancer chemoresistance via PI3K/AKT Signaling Pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 16, 2020 Knockdown of Linc00839 significantly suppressed proliferation, invasion, and migration, sensitized cells to paclitaxel in vitro and inhibited transplant tumor development in vivo...Taken together, for the first time, we showed that Linc00839 was activated by Myc and promoted proliferation and chemoresistance in BC through binding with Lin28B. These findings provide new insight into the regulatory mechanism of Linc00839, and propose a Myc/Linc00839/Lin28B feedback loop that could be used as a novel therapeutic target for breast cancer.

In addition, we found that the anti-leukemic effect of 10058-F4 was overshadowed, at least partially, through the compensatory activation of the PI3K signaling pathway; highlighting a plausible attenuating role of this axis on 10058-F4 cytotoxicity. In conclusion, the results of the present study shed light on the favorable anti-leukemic effect of 10058-F4, especially in combination with PI3K inhibitors in acute promyelocytic leukemia; however, further investigations should be accomplished to determine the efficacy of the inhibitor, either as a single agent or in a combined-modal strategy, in leukemia treatment.

Journal: Discovery of 1,3-dihydro-2H-imidazo[4,5-c]quinolin-2-ones based novel, potent and PI3Kδ selective inhibitors. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 13, 2020 For the effective treatment of chronic immunological disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis, it is essential to develop isoform selective PI3Kδ inhibitors. Structure guided optimization of an imidazo-quinolinones based pan-PI3K/m-TOR inhibitor (Dactolisib) led to the discovery of a potent and orally bioavailable PI3Kδ isoform selective inhibitor (10h), with an improved efficacy in the animal models.
- |||||||||| Journal, IO Biomarker: Resveratrol delays 6-hydroxydopamine-induced apoptosis by activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 13, 2020
Compared with those in the model group, the number of dopaminergic neurons cells and the expression of PI3K-110α, p-Akt Ser473, and pro-caspase-3 in the Res 30 mg/kg group were significantly increased, and the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio and the level of activated caspase-3 was decreased. The results indicate that Res ameliorates 6-OHDA-induced apoptosis and motor dysfunction via activating the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, delaying the progression of Parkinson's disease (PD) symptoms in this model.

Using Real-time PCR, western blot, and immunofluorescence studies, we observed that (i) Lanatoside C inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis in cell-specific and dose-dependent manner only in cancer cell lines; (ii) Lanatoside C exerts its anti-cancer activity by arresting the G2/M phase of cell cycle by blocking MAPK/Wnt/PAM signaling pathways; (iii) it induces apoptosis by inducing DNA damage and inhibiting PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathways; and finally, (iv) molecular docking analysis shows significant evidence on the binding sites of Lanatoside C with various key signaling proteins ranging from cell survival to cell death. Our studies provide a novel molecular insight of anti-cancer activities of Lanatoside C in human cancer cells.

Journal: PI3K/Akt/FoxO pathway mediates glycolytic metabolism in HepG2 cells exposed to triclosan (TCS). (Pubmed Central) - Sep 13, 2020 The PI3K/Akt/FoxO pathway was identified to play a pivot role in TCS-induced glycolysis, which was further confirmed by inhibitor tests using specific inhibitors LY294002 and MK2206. In general, TCS can induce oxidative stress, cause oxidative damages and promote glycolysis in HepG2 cells, which was mediated by the PI3K/Akt/FoxO pathway.

In nude mice treated with caffeine or theophylline, MGC-803 cell tumours injected with siPTEN were larger than those injected with negative control siRNA. These results show that the methylxanthine derivatives (caffeine and theophylline) effectively induce gastric cancer cell apoptosis and autophagy by PTEN activation and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway suppression and strongly support the use of methylxanthine derivatives as potential anticancer therapeutics.
- |||||||||| Journal: Up-regulated circular RNA hsa_circ_0067934 contributes to glioblastoma progression through activating PI3K-AKT pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 11, 2020
These results show that the methylxanthine derivatives (caffeine and theophylline) effectively induce gastric cancer cell apoptosis and autophagy by PTEN activation and PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway suppression and strongly support the use of methylxanthine derivatives as potential anticancer therapeutics. Hsa_circ_0067934 is overexpressed and plays an oncogenic role in GBM by promoting cancer cell proliferation and metastasis via upregulation of PI3K-AKT pathway, which suggests that hsa_circ_0067934 is likely to serve as an efficient therapeutic approach in respect of GBM treatment.
- |||||||||| Biomarker, Journal: Research on miR-126 in glioma targeted regulation of PTEN/PI3K/Akt and MDM2-p53 pathways. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 11, 2020
Hsa_circ_0067934 is overexpressed and plays an oncogenic role in GBM by promoting cancer cell proliferation and metastasis via upregulation of PI3K-AKT pathway, which suggests that hsa_circ_0067934 is likely to serve as an efficient therapeutic approach in respect of GBM treatment. The miR-126 expression is abnormally low in glioma cells, and miR-126 inhibits the course of glioma through targeted regulation of PTEN/PI3K/Akt and MDM2-p53 pathways, which, therefore, can be used as a new potential biomarker for the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of glioma.

Review, Journal: PI3K Inhibitors in Breast Cancer Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 10, 2020 The high frequency of genetic alterations in the PI3K pathway has provided the rationale for development of inhibitors targeting PI3K/AKT. Despite initial disappointment with several randomized trials of pan-PI3K inhibitors in HR-positive breast cancer, there has been continued effort to more precisely target PI3K isoforms, which has led to clinical benefit for patients with advanced breast cancer.

However, within the germinal center, peripheral tolerance was still enforced, and there was selection against B cells with high affinity for self-antigen. These data show that the strength of PI3K signaling is a key regulator of pregerminal center B cell self-tolerance and thus represents a druggable pathway to treat antibody-mediated autoimmunity.

Journal: Artesunate Ameliorates Sepsis-Induced Acute Lung Injury by Activating the mTOR/AKT/PI3K Axis. (Pubmed Central) - Sep 10, 2020 The rats were randomly assigned into 4 groups: Sham, LPS, LPS + AS, and LPS + AS + LY294002...AS could partially protect against LPS-induced ALI by inhibiting apoptosis and inflammatory mediator production, and this function is perhaps associated with the regulation of the mTOR/AKT/PI3K axis. These findings suggest that AS may possess certain beneficial characteristics in protecting the lungs from sepsis.
