- |||||||||| Journal: Dieckol inhibits non-small-cell lung cancer cell proliferation and migration by regulating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 15, 2020
The molecular mechanism of dieckol anticancer activity was confirmed by estimating the levels of caspases and by estimating the signaling proteins of Pi3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway using the immunoblotting technique. Our data suggest that dieckol is potent anticancer agent, it effectively inhibits the invasive and migratory property A549 cells and it also induces apoptosis via inhibiting Pi3K/AKT/mTOR signaling, activating the tumor suppressor protein E-cadherin signifying that dieckol is potent natural anticancer drug to treat NSCLC.

Journal: Tumor-associated macrophages secrete CCL2 and induce tamoxifen resistance by activating PI3K/Akt/mTOR in breast cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 15, 2020 High expression of CCL2 was correlated with the infiltration of CD163+ macrophages (r = 0.548, P < 0.001), and patients with high CCL2 expression presented shorter progression-free survival than those with low CCL2 expression (P < 0.05). We conclude that CCL2 secreted by TAMs activates PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling and promotes an endocrine resistance feedback loop in the TME, suggesting that CCL2 and TAMs may be novel therapeutic targets for patients with endocrine-resistant breast cancer.

And magnolol also decreased inflammatory response by inhibiting the activation of NLRP3inflammasome, caspase-1, and caspase-3 signaling pathway. Above results showed that magnolol could prevent alcoholic liver damage, and the underlying mechanism was through activating PI3K/Nrf2/PPARγ signaling pathways as well as inhibiting NLRP3 inflammasome, which also suggested magnolol might be used as a potential drug for ALD.

Journal: CRF Receptor Signaling via the ERK1/2-MAP and Akt Kinase Cascades: Roles of Src, EGF Receptor, and PI3-Kinase Mechanisms. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 12, 2020 Besides, CRF induced EGF receptor (EGFR) phosphorylation at Tyr, and selective inhibition of EGFR kinase activity by AG1478 strongly inhibited the CRFR-mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2, indicating the participation of EGFR transactivation...These findings indicate that on the base of a constitutive CRFR/EGFR interaction, the G/βγ subunits upstream activation of Src, PYK2, PI3K, and transactivation of the EGFR are required for CRFR signaling via the ERK1/2-MAP kinase pathway. In contrast, Akt activation via CRFR is mediated by the Src/PI3K pathway with little contribution of EGFR transactivation.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal: The PTEN⁻PI3K Axis in Cancer. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 11, 2020
In this review we summarize the essential role of the PTEN-PI3K axis in controlling cellular behaviors by modulating activation of key proto-oncogenic molecular nodes and functional targets. Further, we highlight important functional redundancies and peculiarities of these two critical enzymes that over the last few decades have become a central part of the cancer research field and have instructed hundreds of pre-clinical and clinical trials to better cancer treatments.

Preclinical, Journal, IO Biomarker: Antiepileptic Effects of Protein-Rich Extract from Bombyx batryticatus on Mice and Its Protective Effects against HO-Induced Oxidative Damage in PC12 Cells via Regulating PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathways. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 11, 2020 Maximal electroshock-induced seizure (MES) and pentylenetetrazole- (PTZ-) induced seizure in mice and the histological analysis were carried out to evaluate the antiepileptic effects of BBPs...Moreover, BBPs upregulated the expressions of PI3K, Akt, p-Akt, and Bcl-2, whereas they downregulated the expressions of caspase-9, caspase-3, and Bax in HO-stimulated PC12 cells. These findings suggested that BBPs possessed potential antiepileptic effects on MES and PTZ-induced seizure in mice and protective effects on HO-induced oxidative stress in PC12 cells by exerting antioxidative and antiapoptotic effects via PI3K/Akt signaling pathways.

Our results suggested that the cytotoxic and apoptotic effects of NOB on bladder cancer cells are associated with endoplasmic reticulum stress and mitochondrial dysfunction. These results indicated that our design compounds can serve as potent PI3Kα and BRAF dual inhibitors and effective antiproliferative agents, which can be further optimized to discover more potent PI3Kα and BRAF dual inhibitors.
- |||||||||| Journal: MMP-9 secreted by tumor associated macrophages promoted gastric cancer metastasis through a PI3K/AKT/Snail pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 10, 2020
In conclusion, 15-epi-LXA lowered the TNF-α-induced high TF expression and activity by suppressing PI3K/AKT signaling activation, thereby reducing the binding capacity of NF-κB on the TF promoter in pc-HUVECs. Our data showed that TAMs facilitate the EMT process via an MMP-9/PI3K/AKT/Snail dependent pathway, while blocking this signaling pathway with MMP-9 proenzyme inhibitor could suppress distant metastasis in gastric cancer.

Our review is unique as it presents patient data in support of our hypothesis.

Journal: Kuntai capsule attenuates premature ovarian failure through the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2020 Although preliminary, this present study indicates that lauric acid has the potential to stabilize atherosclerotic plaque and may prevent thrombosis by interfering with the ADAMTS-1 expression through PI3K/JNK pathways. The KTC showed protective potentials of ovarian reserve and fertility to attenuate premature ovarian failure, which was relatively associated with activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
