Following GM treatment, the phosphorylation of the PI3K, AKT, and mTOR proteins was reduced in the liver of CCl -treated rats and TGF-?1-stimulated LX-2 cells, indicating that GM may attenuate hepatic fibrosis via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signalling pathway. These outcomes highlight the anti-fibrotic effects of GM and suggest that it is a potential therapeutic agent for the treatment of liver fibrosis.

Journal: A PLCB1-PI3K-AKT signaling axis activates EMT to promote cholangiocarcinoma progression. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 11, 2022 PLCB1 expression was regulated by miR-26b-5p through direct interaction with PLCB1 3'UTR. Collectively, these data identify a PLCB1-PI3K-AKT signaling axis vital for CCA development and EMT, suggesting that AKT can be used as a therapeutic target to overcome chemotherapy resistance in CCA patients with high PLCB1 expression.

However, the inhibition of PI3K/Akt/mTOR blocked the promotion of C2C12 myoblasts differentiation induced by VEGFB, indicating the involvement of the PI3K/Akt pathway. To conclude, these findings showed that VEGFB promoted C2C12 myoblast proliferation and differentiation via the VEGFR1-PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, providing new insights into the regulation of skeletal muscle development.

Evidence of PI3K signalling activation and the potential for chemoprotection in human ovariancortex exposed to cyclophosphamide () - Jan 11, 2022 - Abstract #Fertility2022Fertility_232; Exposure to 4-HC also compromised the histological health of primordial follicles (23%±5 of primordial follicles were classed as unhealthy versus 7%±3 in controls). These data provide evidence that in vitro exposure to cyclophosphamide upregulates PI3K signalling in human ovarian cortex and compromises the health of primordial follicles, in addition to identifying potential approaches that can be used to ameliorate these chemotherapy-induced effects.

However, longitudinal human studies are possibly required to verify more conclusively whether the investigational tools used to understand the regulation of these pathways might provide effective approaches in the prevention and treatment of various disorders. In this Review, we summarize the experimental evidence from recent peer-reviewed studies and provide a brief overview of the causal relationship between the effects of probiotics and their metabolites on the components of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathways and human disease.

Journal: Enhanced anticancer activity by the combination of vinpocetine and sorafenib via PI3K/AKT/GSK-3β signaling axis in hepatocellular carcinoma cells. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2022 Our study revealed that vinpocetine plus sorafenib could suppress the cytoprotective autophagy induced by vinpocetine and subsequently show synergistically anti-HCC activity via activating GSK-3β and the combination of vinpocetine and sorafenib might reverse sorafenib resistance via the PI3K/protein kinase B/GSK-3β signaling axis. Thus, vinpocetine may be a potential candidate for sorafenib sensitization and HCC treatment, and our results may help to elucidate more effective therapeutic options for HCC patients with sorafenib resistance.

Journal: Effect of the Notch1-mediated PI3K-Akt-mTOR pathway in human osteosarcoma. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2022 In summary, our results revealed that Notch1 activation by doxycycline induces S phase arrest, apoptosis and autophagy by blocking PI3K/Akt/mTOR signalling in human osteosarcoma cells. Notch1 may be a potential clinical antitumour target for osteosarcoma therapy.

Both copanlisib, the PI3K inhibitor, and tazemetostat, the EZH2 inhibitor, are FDA-approved, which should enhance the clinical translation of this work.
- |||||||||| Journal: Repressing MYC by targeting BET synergizes with selective inhibition of PI3Kα against B cell lymphoma. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 8, 2022
An unbiased screening with drugs approved or in clinical trials for the therapy of BCL identified that the clinical BET (Bromodomain and Extra Terminal domain) inhibitor OTX015 significantly potentiated the activity of CYH33 against BCL in vitro and in vivo, which was associated with enhanced inhibition on c-MYC expression and induction of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Our findings provide the rationale of combined CYH33 with BET inhibitors for the therapy of B cell lymphoma.

Functionally, we further show that soluble αKlotho ameliorates serum-stimulated SOCE and cell migration in breast and lung cancer cells. These results demonstrate that soluble αKlotho downregulates SOCE by inhibiting PI3K-driven vesicular exocytosis of the Orai1 channel and contributes to the suppression of SOCE-mediated tumor cell migration.

Journal: Melatonin-mediated MT2 attenuates colitis induced by dextran sodium sulfate via PI3K/AKT/Nrf2/SIRT1/RORα/NF-κB signaling pathways. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 7, 2022 This study demonstrated that high-dose rapamycin leads to ERK1/2 activation through a p70S6K/PI3K/MAPK feedback loop in rat MCs, thus reducing the inhibitory effect of rapamycin on MC proliferation. Melatonin-mediated MT2 activated PI3K/AKT/Nrf2/RORα/SIRT1 pathway and suppressed NF-κB pathway, ultimately improved DSS-induced colitis, which provides evidence for melatonin as an efficient therapy against oxidative stress associated IBD.
