Preclinical, Journal: Polyamine analogue QMA attenuated ischemic injury in MCAO rats via ERK and Akt activated Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. (Pubmed Central) - May 2, 2019 Further more, treatment with LY294002 (specific PI3K inhibitor), PD98059 (specific ERK inhibitor), brusatol (specific Nrf2 inhibitor) and SnPP (specific HO-1 inhibitor) deprived almost all the effects of QMA in MCAO rats and OGD-treated PC12 cells. These data suggested that the protective actions of QMA on the cerebral ischemia may be related to activation of endogenous cytoprotective mechanism via ERK and Akt activated Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway.

We focus on summarizing targeting strategies of PI3K in ALL.
- |||||||||| Journal: Enhanced β-adrenergic signalling underlies an age-dependent beneficial metabolic effect of PI3K p110α inactivation in adipose tissue. (Pubmed Central) - May 2, 2019
This effect of p110α inactivation is due to a potentiating effect on β-adrenergic signalling, which leads to increased catecholamine-induced energy expenditure in the adipose tissue. Our findings provide a paradigm of how partial inactivation of an essential component of the insulin signalling pathway can have an overall beneficial metabolic effect and suggest that PI3K inhibition could potentiate the effect of β-adrenergic agonists in the treatment of obesity and its associated comorbidities.

Conversely, priming with PI3K inhibitor wortmannin prevents insulin attenuation of HG- and/or LPS-induced p38 MAPK and NF-κB activation, Tnf-α, Il-1β expression as well as NO production. Congruent with reduced Il-10 expression, MEK inhibition abrogates insulin action allowing significant increase in Tlr4 expression and LPS response indicating insulin-induced Il-10 might have pivotal influence in regulation of chronic as well as acute inflammatory response.
- |||||||||| Journal: SCD1 is required for EGFR-targeting cancer therapy of lung cancer via re-activation of EGFR/PI3K/AKT signals. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 27, 2019
...This study aimed to investigate the role of SCD1 inhibition by EGFR inhibitor (Gefitinib)-based anti-tumor therapy of lung cancer both in vitro and in vivo...Furthermore, in spite of EGFR inhibition, overexpression of SCD1 in vivo significantly promoted tumor growth by activating EGFR/PI3K/AKT signaling in tumor tissues, but A939572 treatment restricted SCD1-induced tumor progression and inhibited EMT phenotype of cancer cells in vivo. These findings indicated that inhibition of oncogene SCD1 is required for targeting EGFR therapy in lung cancer.

Journal: Relaxin induces up-regulation of ADAM10 metalloprotease in RXFP1-expressing cells by PI3K/AKT signaling. (Pubmed Central) - Apr 26, 2019 ...H9c2 cardiomyocytes and NIH3T3 fibroblasts were incubated with human RLX-2 (17 nmol/l, 24 h) in presence or absence of the PI3K or Akt inhibitors wortmannin (WT, 100 nmol/l) and triciribine (TCN, 1 μmol/l)...RLX significantly increased Akt phosphorylation, ADAM10 and NICD expression, which were abolished by WT or TCN and did not occur with iRLX. These findings highlight a new receptor-specific signal transduction pathway of RLX.

AKT suppression with specific inhibitor impaired invasion of cells in which excessively expressed CD47, indicating that stimulation of PI3K/Akt pathway served as the downstream regulator of invasion triggered by CD47. These results suggest that CD47 might serve as a predictor of worse development as well as metastasis and brought about an innovative approach to treat glioblastoma.

Receptor tyrosine kinases upstream of PI3K, the p110a catalytic fractional unit of PI3K, the downstream kinase, AKT, and therefore the negative regulator, PTEN, are all often altered in cancer. In this review, we consider about the phosphoinositide 3-kinases family and mechanisms of PI3K-Akt stimulation in cancer.

The majority of the new molecules synthetized interact with binding sites different from the ATP binding site (i.e. PIF pocket or DFG-out conformation). However, many researchers are still looking for innovative PDK1 modulation strategy such as combination of well-known inhibitory agents or multitarget ligands, aiming to block, together with PDK1, other different critical players in the wide panorama of proteins involved in tumor pathways.
