- |||||||||| Journal: Bisphenol F suppresses insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism in adipocytes by inhibiting IRS-1/PI3K/AKT pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 9, 2022
Western blot analysis indicated that the activation of IRS-1/PI3K/AKT signaling pathway was inhibited by BPF, which resulted in reduced GLUT4 translocation. In conclusion, our data suggest that exposure of adipocytes to BPF may alter the expression of calorie metabolism-related adipokines and suppress insulin-stimulated glucose metabolism by impairing the insulin signaling (IRS-1/PI3K/AKT) pathway.

Journal, IO biomarker: Indoleamine 2,3-Dioxygenase 1 (IDO1) Promotes Cardiac Hypertrophy via a PI3K-AKT-mTOR-Dependent Mechanism. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 8, 2022 Finally, we provided evidence that inhibition of PI3K with pictilisib, AKT with perifosine, or mTOR with rapamycin, blocked the effects of IDO1 on protein synthesis and cardiomyocyte hypertrophy in Ang II-treated cells. Collectively, our findings identify that IDO1 promotes cardiomyocyte hypertrophy partially via PI3K-AKT-mTOR-S6K1 signaling.

PK/PD data, Preclinical, Journal: Effect of Sophocarpine on the Pharmacokinetics of Umbralisib in Rat Plasma Using a Novel UPLC-MS/MS Method. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 8, 2022 This developed, optimized and technical UPLC-MS/MS method was extremely suitable for detecting the concentrations of umbralisib in rat plasma after an oral administration, and sophocarpine significantly changed the pharmacokinetics of umbralisib in rats. This obvious pharmacokinetic changes indicates that there seems to exist herb-drug interaction between sophocarpine and umbralisib.
- |||||||||| Review, Journal, IO biomarker: Where We Stand With Precision Therapeutics in Myeloma: Prosperity, Promises, and Pipedreams. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 8, 2022
Thus far, clinical trials have yielded occasional successes intermixed with disappointments, reflecting significant hurdles which still remain including the complex crosstalk between oncogenic pathways and the nonlinear genetic development of myeloma, prone to cultivating sub-clones with distinctive mutations. In this review, we explore the landscape of precision therapeutics in multiple myeloma and underscore the degree to which research efforts have produced tangible clinical results.
- |||||||||| Journal: The Functional GRHL3-Filaggrin Axis Maintains a Tumour Differentiation Potential and Influences Drug Sensitivity. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 5, 2022
The loss of FLG in sensitive HNSCC resulted in a dramatic resistance to targeted therapies while the GRHL3-FLG signature predicted a favourable patient prognosis. This study provides evidence for a functional GRHL3-FLG tumour-specific differentiation axis that regulates targeted therapy response in HNSCC and establishes a rationale for clinical investigation of differentiation-paired targeted therapy in heterogeneous cancers.

Journal: Dexmedetomidine protects the heart against ischemia reperfusion injury via regulation of the bradykinin receptors. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 5, 2022 The administration of Ang-(3-7) attenuated hypertrophy of NRCMs via inhibiting the cAMP/PKA signaling pathway, and alleviated fibrosis of NRCFs via inhibiting PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. DEX regulates BK receptor expression and potentiates the protection of BK in cardiac I/R injury, which suggests that modulating endogenous cardioprotective factors may play an important role in DEX-induced cardioprotection.

Preclinical, Journal: Neuroprotection of Exendin-4 by Enhanced Autophagy in a Parkinsonian Rat Model of α-Synucleinopathy. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 3, 2022 Taken together, our results demonstrate that exendin-4 treatment relieved behavioral deficits, dopaminergic degeneration, and pathological α-synuclein aggregation in a parkinsonian rat model of α-synucleinopathy and that these effects were mediated by enhanced autophagy via inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. In light of the safety and tolerance of exendin-4 administration, our results suggest that exendin-4 may represent a promising disease-modifying treatment for Parkinson's disease.

Journal, Combination therapy, BRCA Biomarker, PARP Biomarker: Poly(ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Inhibitor Combination Therapy. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 2, 2022 In general, PARP inhibitor and biological agent combinations are well tolerated, and early data suggest that they are clinically effective in both BRCA1/2 mutant and wild-type cancers. In this review, we discuss multiple clinical trials that are underway examining the antitumor activity of the most promising combination strategies.

Preclinical, Journal: Everolimus inhibits PI3K/Akt/mTOR and NF-kB/IL-6 signaling and protects seizure-induced brain injury in rats. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 1, 2022 In this review, we discuss multiple clinical trials that are underway examining the antitumor activity of the most promising combination strategies. Everolimus can decrease the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and NF-kB/IL-6 signaling pathway, reduce neuronal apoptosis and microglia activation, and attenuate seizure susceptibility and intensity, thus having a protective effect on seizure-induced brain damage.

Journal: Effects of triptolide on radiosensitivity of human glioma cells and its mechanism. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 1, 2022 LMP7 inhibition with ONX-0914 exerts protective effects on HIBD rats, possibly via PI3K/Akt signaling. Triptolide could significantly increase the radiosensitivity of human glioma U251 cells and play a role by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt signal pathway.
- |||||||||| Journal: Hypoxia promotes steroidogenic competence of buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) theca cells. (Pubmed Central) - Feb 1, 2022
This study indicated that hypoxia enhanced the steroidogenic competence of buffalo TCs main through activating PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and subsequently facilitating the responsiveness of TCs to LH. This study provides a basis for further exploration of ovarian endocrine mechanism for steroidogenesis.
- |||||||||| Identification of concurrent Wnt and PI3K activity as a potent driver of invasive cholangiocarcinoma ([VIRTUAL]) - Jan 30, 2022 - Abstract #LCS2022LCS_141;
Our study demonstrates that Nf2 is a rare driver gene of ICC that acts in a cooperative manner with oncogenic Kras to accelerate tumorigenesis. These tumours highlighted a concurrent Wnt and PI3K signaling signature, and we demonstrate that pharmacological coinhibition substantially impedes ICC growth, highlighting the use of Wnt and Pi3K inhibition as a broad treatment for ICC Patients.
