Preclinical, Journal: Combination Effect of Notch1 and PI3K/AKT/mTOR Signaling Pathways Inhibitors on T-ALL Cell Lines. (Pubmed Central) - May 29, 2020 Interaction of AZD5363 as an inhibitor of PI3k/AKT/mTOR and Compound E as an inhibitor of Notch1 signaling pathway was investigated in a T-ALL pre-clinical model...Cytotoxicity of drug combination increased in all T-ALL cell lines compared to each as a single drug. Simultaneous inhibition of Notch1 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways as a possible treatment of T-ALL, provides a basis for future investigations.

Journal: Itraconazole induces regression of infantile hemangioma via down-regulation of the PDGF-D/PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. (Pubmed Central) - May 29, 2020 Importantly, itraconazole significantly reduced platelet-derived growth factor D (PDGF-D) level, resulting in suppression of PDGFR-β activation and inhibition of its downstream effectors, such as PI3K, Akt, 4E-BP1 and p70S6K, which are important for cellular growth and survival of IH. In conclusion, our results suggest that PDGF-D is a target of itraconazole in IH.

The results of mechanistic investigations indicated that the antidepressant-like action of IRN was mediated, at least in part, by enhancing neurotrophins and attenuating neuroinflammation via modulating the PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β pathway.-Xian, Y.-F., Ip, S.-P., Li, H.-Q., Qu, C., Su, Z.-R., Chen, J.-N., Lin, Z.-X.

Antitumor actions of pladienolide-B involved: (1) inhibition of PI3K/AKT and JNK signaling pathways, (2) modulation of tumor markers and splicing variants (AR-v7/In1-ghrelin), and (3) regulation of key components of mRNA homeostasis-associated machineries (spliceosome/SURF/EJC). Altogether, our results demonstrated that SF3B1 is overexpressed and associated with malignant features in PCa, and its inhibition reduces PCa aggressiveness, suggesting that SF3B1 could represent a novel prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target in PCa.

Altogether, our results demonstrated that SF3B1 is overexpressed and associated with malignant features in PCa, and its inhibition reduces PCa aggressiveness, suggesting that SF3B1 could represent a novel prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target in PCa. These observations elucidated that upregulated miR-519 is closely correlated with the radiosensitivity of ESCC cells, which may contribute to finding a new promising target for improving the efficiency of radiotherapy in patients with ESCC.

These distinct age- and function-dependent impacts would be in agreement with the distinct cortical and limbic deficits in the Akt signaling in the brain we have recently described in these same animals. The elicitation of age- and neuronal-dependent specific patterns suggests that fine-tuning the intensity of the PKB/Akt signal that enables diverse physiological response has also its in vivo translation into the negative valence system and age is a key regulatory factor.

Journal: Quercetin facilitates cell death and chemosensitivity through RAGE/PI3K/AKT/mTOR axis in human pancreatic cancer cells. (Pubmed Central) - May 25, 2020 The triggering of gemcitabine (GEM) drug resistance in pancreatic cancer by the receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) has been demonstrated...Notably, quercetin showed a dramatic effect similar to RAGE silencing that effectively attenuated RAGE expression to facilitate cell cycle arrest, autophagy, apoptosis, and GEM chemosensitivity in MIA Paca-2 cells, suggesting that an additional reaction occurred under combined quercetin and GEM treatment. In conclusion, the results demonstrated that the molecular mechanisms of quercetin in regulating apoptosis and autophagy-related pathways and increasing GEM chemosensitivity in pancreatic cancer cells involved inhibition of RAGE expression.

Journal: Timosaponin AIII inhibits metastasis of renal carcinoma cells through suppressing cathepsin C expression by AKT/miR-129-5p axis. (Pubmed Central) - May 23, 2020 Combining TSAIII and PI3K inhibitors, LY294002 synergically reduced the migration and invasion of 786-O and A-498 cells, as well as decreased the CTSC expression in both the cell types...In conclusion, our findings reveal that TSAIII inhibits the metastatic properties of RCC cells, contributing to the inhibition of PI3K/AKT and the increase of miR-129-5p and the subsequent downregulation of CTSC. This suggests that TSAIII has significant antimetastatic activity against RCC cells and may be beneficial to RCC treatments.

Journal, IO Biomarker: HS restores the cardioprotective effects of ischemic post-conditioning by upregulating HB-EGF/EGFR signaling. (Pubmed Central) - May 23, 2020 The beneficial effects of NaHS during PC were inhibited by EGFR knockdown, AG1478 (EGFR inhibitor), PD98059 (ERK1/2 inhibitor) or LY294002 (PI3K inhibitor). These results suggest that exogenous HS restores PC-mediated cardioprotection by up-regulating HB-EGF/EGFR signaling, which activates the ERK1/2-c-myc (and fos and c-jun) and PI3K-Akt- GSK-3β pathways in the aged cardiomyocytes.
