In concordance with patient samples, colorectal cancer cell lines with PIK3CA mutations display more commonly MSI and tend to be more sensitive to PI3K inhibitors. Variability in sensitivity of PIK3CA-mutated cell lines suggests that additional molecular abnormalities contribute to sensitivity.

Preclinical, Journal: Asthma susceptibility in prenatal nicotine-exposed mice attributed to β-catenin increase during CD4 T cell development. (Pubmed Central) - May 20, 2022 Moreover, inhibiting PI3K-AKT by LY294002 abrogated nicotine-mediated β-catenin level increase and thymopoiesis abnormalities, and an α7 nAChR antagonist (α-btx) also reversed nicotine-induced PI3K-AKT activation. Our findings provide strong evidence that PNE is a risk factor for T cell deviation and postnatal asthma, and revealed that nicotine-induced β-catenin level increase induces thymopoiesis abnormalities.

Our study suggests that mitofilin regulates pyroptosis through the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway in cardiomyocytes to ameliorate AMI, which may serve as a therapeutic strategy for the management of AMI. ESC, for the first time, demonstrated effective protection against RI/R-injury and its combination with EPO exerted maximal renoprotection when compared to each monotherapy, thereby representing an effective therapeutic approach via inhibiting oxidative stress, inflammation, renal tubular and endothelial injury, apoptosis, and P2X7 receptors, and activating PI3K/Akt pathway.

(Pubmed Central) - May 19, 2022 This study firstly provides a novel selective Grp94 inhibitor as a NPC candidate. TEAD4 is closely correlated with poor prognosis in BLCA and mediates its metastasis through regulating EMT via PI3K/AKT pathway, proving that TEAD4 is not only an effective biomarker for predicting the prognosis but also a great potential target for treatment of metastatic BLCA.

It was concluded that the chronological age of the patient alone should not guide therapeutic decisions and that a Comprehensive Geriatric Assessment (CGA) should be performed whenever possible before establishing treatment. Treatment selection for the elderly population should consider the patient's baseline status, the expected benefit and toxicity of each treatment, and the impact of treatment toxicity on the patient's quality of life and functionality.

(Pubmed Central) - May 18, 2022 HIF-1α and/or Glut-1 knockout facilitated radiosensitivity in laryngeal carcinoma Tu212 cells by regulation of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Mubritinib can upregulate intracellular ROS concentration and cell apoptosis, inhibit the PI3K signaling pathway and interfere with the function of mitochondria, thus reducing cell proliferation and increasing ROS induced apoptosis by reducing the activation of Nrf2 by PI3K.

Journal: Alkaline intracellular pH (pHi) increases mTORC1 and mTORC2 signaling through PI3K to promote protein synthesis and cell survival. (Pubmed Central) - May 14, 2022 Indeed, alkaline pHi increased PI-3',4',5'-P3 levels in a manner sensitive to the PI3K inhibitor BYL-719...Taken together, these findings reveal alkaline pHi as a previously unrecognized activator of PI3K-mTORC1/2 signaling that promotes protein synthesis and cell survival. As elevated pHi represents an under-appreciated hallmark of cancer cells, these findings suggest that by alkaline pHi sensing by the PI3K-mTOR axis and AMPK-mTORC2 axes may contribute to tumorigenesis.
- |||||||||| Journal, IO biomarker: 5HTR1E receptor interacts with Neurotrophic factor-α1 and serotonin to activate two distinct signaling pathways. (Pubmed Central) - May 14, 2022
Using LDH cytotoxicity assay we demonstrated that NF-α1/CPE was able to protect HEK-293-5HTR1E expressing cells against H O -induced cytotoxicity, via increasing pro-survival protein BCL2 expression; however, this protective effect of NFα1/CPE was diminished in the β-arrestin KO cells. Our study identified two ligands for HTR1E: NFα1/CPE which interacts with HTR1E to activate β-arrestin/ERK/BCL2 signaling pathway for protecting cells against oxidative stress; and serotonin which activated a Gi-cAMP-dependent pathway, the physiological role is under investigation.
