Journal: Cryptosporidium parvum maintains intracellular survival by activating the host cellular EGFR-PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 10, 2023 The EGFR inhibitor AG1478 decreased EGFR and Akt phosphorylation, and the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 impaired Akt phosphorylation induced by C. parvum in HCT-8 cells...Intracellular parasite proliferation was decreased when treated with autophagy inducer rapamycin, whereas autophagy inhibitor 3-MA, E64d+pep A, siBeclin1 or siATG7 increased intracellular parasites...In summary, C. parvum could maintain intracellular survival by inhibiting autophagy via EGFR-PI3K/Akt pathway. These results revealed a new mechanism for the interaction of C. parvum with host cells.

Journal: 2D-CuPd nanozyme overcome tamoxifen resistance in breast cancer by regulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 10, 2023 Our results reveal a novel nanozyme ROS-mediated protein mechanism for the regulation of the PI3K subunit, illustrate the cellular pathways through which increased p85β protein expression contributes to tamoxifen resistance, and reveal p85β protein as a potential therapeutic target for overcoming tamoxifen resistance. 2D-CuPd is the first reported nanomaterial capable of degrading PI3K subunits, and its high performance combined with further materials engineering may lead to the development of nanozyme-based tumor catalytic therapy.

Furthermore, transplantation of nude mice with HCC tumors showed that PI-3065 inhibits HCC tumor growth in vivo by targeting survivin. In summary, PI-3065 specifically inhibited survivin expression and exerted anti-HCC activity in vivo and in vitro, suggesting that it may serve as an effective antitumor drug for HCC treatment, which warrants further study.

They concluded that ERK4 is a promising therapeutic target for TNBC and has potential for combination therapy with PI3K inhibitors. Here, we raise concerns about the cellular models and experimental approaches used in this study, which compromise the conclusions on the oncogenic role of ERK4 in TNBC.

Journal: HO Mediates VEGF- and Flow-Induced Dilations of Coronary Arterioles in Early Type 1 Diabetes: Role of Vascular Arginase and PI3K-Linked eNOS Uncoupling. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 9, 2023 This hypothesis was tested in coronary arterioles isolated from pigs with 2-week diabetes after streptozocin injection...This study demonstrates that endothelium-dependent NO-mediated coronary arteriolar dilation is partially compromised in early type 1 diabetes by reducing eNOS substrate L-arginine via arginase activation. It appears that upregulated arginase contributes to endothelial NO deficiency in early diabetes, but production of HO during PI3K-linked eNOS uncoupling likely compensates for and masks this disturbance.

Journal: Antitumor Effects of Ononin by Modulation of Apoptosis in Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer through Inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 7, 2023 Paclitaxel (PTX) is a commonly used chemotherapeutic drug for NSCLC, which can cause tissue injury in healthy cells and affect the quality of life in patients with cancer...Based on the histological analysis, the cotreatment of PTX and ononin reduced PTX-induced liver and kidney damage. Overall, our findings suggested that the therapeutic index of PTX-based chemotherapy could be improved by reducing toxicity with increasing antitumor capabilities when combined with ononin.

LDL repressed basal ERK phosphorylation and expression of downstream transcription factor Egr-1, which might lead to inhibition of COX-2 expression. These findings suggest that simultaneous stimulation with a combination of TNFα, PGE, and native LDL-activated signal chains in macrophage cell lines leads to maximal mPGES-1 activity, as well repression of COX-2 expression, by activating PI3K as well as repression of ERK/Egr-1 signal chains.

Journal: Transcriptional regulation of Notch1 by nuclear factor-κB during T cell activation. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 3, 2023 Both the surface expression and mRNA transcription of Notch1 were significantly higher in activated CD4 T cells, but the inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) by LY294002 or deletion of the Pdk1 gene impaired this upregulation of Notch1...In addition, inhibition of NF-κB by SN50 impaired upregulation of Notch1 surface protein and mRNA in activated CD4 T cells. Thus, we provide evidence that Notch1 transcription in activated CD4 T cells is upregulated via the PI3K-PDK1-NF-κB signaling pathway.

Such a hypothesis is consistent with the abrogation of aggregation by inhibition of PI3K/AKT/mTOR and MEK/ERK, the chemoattracting activity of conditioned culture media and with a wide screening on secreted proteins. Our results present a novel collective migration model and shed light on the mechanisms of formation of heteroclonal aggregates in cancer.

We report 2 cases of morphologically and immunohistochemically typical cases of NSET with PTEN mutation, representing a novel molecular event detected in this tumor type. As one case presented with both pathogenic PTEN mutation and CTNNB1 mutation it seems that CTNNB1 mutations might be accompanied not only by TERT promoter mutations but also co-occur with other alterations such as PTEN and in rare cases, they can be absent altogether.

Inhibition of PI3K, JNK, P38, and NF-κB, suppressed MMP1 expression and reduced the induction of MMP1/TIMP1 and MMP1/TIMP2 ratios by Tp0136. These findings demonstrate that Tp0136 enhanced the expression of MMP1 involving the PI3K, MAPK, and NF-κB signaling pathways in HDVSMCs, and thus generated the unbalance of MMPs/TIMP, which could contribute to the early spread of T. pallidum and pathogenesis of syphilis.
