- |||||||||| Journal: MiR-24 Promotes Cell Growth in Human Glioma by CDX1/PI3K/Akt Signaling Pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 29, 2022
An animal model was established in mice to detect the role of miR-24 in vivo. These results suggested that miR-24 was elevated in glioma, and miR-24 could promote glioma progression by facilitating cell proliferation and inducing cell apoptosis through CDX1/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, indicating a novel pathway underlying progression in glioma cells and providing a potential target for glioma treatment.

These results suggested that miR-24 was elevated in glioma, and miR-24 could promote glioma progression by facilitating cell proliferation and inducing cell apoptosis through CDX1/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, indicating a novel pathway underlying progression in glioma cells and providing a potential target for glioma treatment. These findings suggest that PI3K → Akt signaling in the BLA could be a mechanism via which traumatic stress leads to fear memory that is resistant to extinction.

Preclinical, Journal: PI3K/AKT pathway mediates the antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like roles of hydrogen sulfide in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats via promoting hippocampal neurogenesis. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 29, 2022 Furthermore, inhibited PI3K/AKT pathway by LY294002 significantly abolished HS-exerted the improvement of hippocampal neurogenesis and the antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like effects in the STZ-induced diabetic rats. Taken together, these results uncover that the activation of hippocampal PI3K/AKT pathway plays an important role to restore hippocampal neurogenesis and subsequently to mediate the antidepressant- and anxiolytic-like roles of HS in STZ-induced diabetic rats and enhance our understanding of the robustness of HS as a therapeutic strategy for treatment of depression in diabetes mellitus.

Preclinical, Journal, IO biomarker: Antiepileptic Effects of Cicadae Periostracum on Mice and Its Antiapoptotic Effects in HO-Stimulated PC12 Cells via Regulation of PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 Signaling Pathways. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 29, 2022 Pentylenetetrazole- (PTZ) and strychnine-induced convulsion mice were established, and the results showed CPM could prolong the latency of convulsion and death and improve the neuronal damage in the hippocampus of PTZ-induced mice...Importantly, CPM could increase the phosphorylation of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and protein kinase B (Akt) in HO-induced PC12 cells and can promote the nuclear transfer of the nuclear factor E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and increase the expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in the cytoplasm. In conclusion, our present study suggested CPM possessed antiepileptic effects through antiapoptosis of neuron cells via regulation of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2 signaling pathway.

Preclinical, Journal: Protective action of pomegranate peel polyphenols in type 2 diabetic rats via the translocation of Nrf2 and FoxO1 regulated by the PI3K/Akt pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 29, 2022 Our results showed that PPPs markedly improved the symptoms of diabetes, such as insulin resistance, impaired insulin secretion, and pancreatic oxidative damage, which contributed to the attenuation of the symptoms of hyperglycemia in a high-fat diet (HFD) combined with streptozocin (STZ) induced type 2 diabetes mellitus in rats...Altogether, we presented evidence that PPPs activated the translocation of Nrf2 into the nucleus and resulted in increased antioxidant activity, and PPPs promoted the translocation of FoxO1 out of the nucleus resulting in an increase in insulin synthesis in vivo and in vitro. Pomegranate extracts may show great potential and application prospects as functional foods or preventive drugs to improve pancreatic beta cell dysfunction and provide a reference for future development in health care.

Our study shows that pAKT/AKT signaling pathway is associated with the formation of procoagulant platelets in severe COVID-19 patients without integrin GPIIb/IIIa engagement. The inhibition of PI3K/AKT phosphorylation might represent a promising strategy to reduce the risk for thrombosis in patients with severe COVID-19.

The need for such guidance is critical because diabetes management in the cancer patient is complex, individualized, and requires inter-disciplinary care. In the present narrative review, we synthesize and summarize the most relevant literature pertaining to diabetes and hyperglycemia in the setting of these cancer therapies and provide an updated patient-centered framework for their evaluation and management.

- |||||||||| Journal: PIK3R3, part of the regulatory domain of PI3K, is upregulated in sarcoma stem-like cells and promotes invasion, migration, and chemotherapy resistance. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 28, 2022
PIK3R3 or ERK1/2 inhibition similarly blocked sarcoma spheroid cell migration, invasion, secretion of MMP-2, xenograft invasion into adjacent normal tissue, and chemotherapy resistance. Together, these results show that signaling through the PIK3R3/ERK/Nanog axis promotes sarcoma CSC phenotypes such as migration, invasion, and chemotherapy resistance, and identify PIK3R3 as a potential therapeutic target in sarcoma.

Journal: NVP-BEZ235 Inhibits Renal Cell Carcinoma by Targeting TAK1 and PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathways. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 28, 2022 We conclude that besides PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling, NVP-BEZ235, and PP242 simultaneously target TAK1-dependent pathways in RCC cells. Notably, these effects were more marked in the presence of NVP-BEZ235 than PP242, indicating the potential application of NVP-BEZ235 in combination therapy for RCC.

Also, 2 targeted therapies-olaparib (Lynparza) and talazoparib (Talzenna)-are FDA approved for the management of mTNBC with germline BRCA mutations, and sacituzumab govitecan, an anti-Trop2 antibody-drug conjugate (ADC), was recently approved for previously treated mTNBC...Key Message: The successful clinical development of immunotherapies, PARP inhibitors, and ADCs for the management of mTNBC has improved the survival outcome of patients. Over the coming years, the therapeutic developments in precision medicine will likely change the mTNBC landscape, and might make the current definition of TNBC as breast cancer that is estrogen receptor negative, progesterone receptor negative, and HER2 negative obsolete.
- |||||||||| Preclinical, Journal: Antidepressant mechanism of catalpol: Involvement of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 27, 2022
Taken together, this study confirmed for the first time that the antidepressant effect of catalpol on CUMS-induced depression involved the upregulation of the PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/HO-1 signaling pathway, thereby improving the hippocampal neurotrophic, neuroprotective, and antioxidant levels. The PI3K/Akt/Nrf2/HO-1 pathway-related molecules may serve as potential new biomarkers and candidate molecular targets for catalpol's antidepressant effects.

Journal: Salvianolic acid B attenuates oxidative stress-induced injuries in enterocytes by activating Akt/GSK3β signaling and preserving mitochondrial function. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 27, 2022 Mechanistically, Sal B treatment up-regulated the phosphorylated level of Akt and GSK3β in enterocytes in vitro and in vivo, and PI3K inhibitor LY294002 treatment abrogated the protective effects of Sal B. Meanwhile, the inactivation of GSK3β reversed the oxidative stress-induced apoptosis and mitochondrial dysfunction in IEC-6 cells. Together, our results demonstrated that the damage of intestinal epithelial cells in in vitro and in vivo models were both attenuated by Sal B treatment, and such antioxidant activity might very possibly be attributed to the activation of Akt/GSK3β signaling.
