Journal: Acacetin Protects Myocardial Cells against Hypoxia-Reoxygenation Injury through Activation of Autophagy. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 4, 2022 Moreover, we found that application of acacetin increased activation of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, whereas cotreatment with the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 reversed the inhibition of apoptosis and autophagy induced by acacetin. In conclusion, acacetin mitigated H/R injury by promoting autophagy through activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.

Preclinical, Journal: Tadalafil and bergapten mitigate streptozotocin-induced sporadic Alzheimer's disease in mice via modulating neuroinflammation, PI3K/Akt, Wnt/β-catenin, AMPK/mTOR signaling pathways. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 4, 2022 In conclusion, this study offers novel insights on the neuroprotective effects of TAD or BG in the management of SAD as evidenced by improved cognitive function and histological architecture. This could be attributed to modulation of the crosstalk among PI3K/Akt/GSK-3β, PP2A, mTOR/autophagy, cGMP/PKG, and Wnt/β-catenin signaling cascades and mitigation of neuroinflammation.

Meanwhile, both intensity exercise could not effectively alleviate the insulin resistance induced by TCDD, but high intensity exercise could promote compensatory insulin secretion to maintain glucose homeostasis. Although the gene expression of IRS2 was changed in high-intensity exercise groups, the mediation role of the hepatic IRS2/PI3K/AKT pathway in the effects of exercise and TCDD exposure on glucose metabolism remains very limited.

The results indicate that SCIP inhibits the growth of MCF-7 tumor cells in zebrafish and increases the apoptosis of human breast cancer MCF-7 cells. Further mechanism studies confirm that SCIP promotes the expression of apoptosis-related proteins and thus promotes the breast cancer cells (MCF-7) apoptosis via inhibition of PI3K/AKT signal transduction pathway.

Acupuncture can relieve the inflammatory reactions and joint synovial injury of the affected joint in AA rats which may be associated with its effects in inhibiting PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling and increasing the auto-phagy level of synovial cells.

Journal: AGEs promote calcification of HASMCs by mediating Pi3k/AKT-GSK3β signaling. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 1, 2022 Cultured HASMCs were divided into five groups: blank control group, dimethyl sulfoxide (vehicle) group, AGEs group, LY294002 (AKT inhibitor) group, and TWS119 (GSK3-β inhibitor) group...In conclusion, AGEs promote calcification of HASMCs, and this effect is ameliorated by inhibition of AKT activity but potentiated by inhibition of GSK3-β activity. Hence, AGEs trigger HASMC calcification by regulating PI3K/AKT-GSK3-β signaling.

Mechanistically, TMEM100 was demonstrated to induce autophagy in A549 cells via inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, whereas inhibiting autophagy using bafilomycin A1 significantly enhanced TMEM100‑induced apoptosis to compensate for the cell death. In conclusion, these findings suggested that TMEM100 may serve as a tumor suppressor in NSCLC and promote autophagy via inhibiting the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.

Journal, IO biomarker: Synergistic melanoma cell death mediated by inhibition of both MCL1 and BCL2 in high-risk tumors driven by NF1/PTEN loss. (Pubmed Central) - Jan 1, 2022 Because addition of the BCL2 inhibitor venetoclax resulted in compensatory upregulation of MCL1, we established a three-drug combination composed of sirolimus, venetoclax, and the MCL1 inhibitor S63845. This well-tolerated drug combination potently and synergistically induces apoptosis in both zebrafish and human NF1/PTEN-deficient melanoma cells, providing preclinical evidence justifying an early-stage clinical trial in patients with NF1/PTEN-deficient melanoma.

Moreover, elevated XB130 expression levels were positive relationship with lymphovascular space invasion (LVSI), intrahepatic type of CCA, high TNM staging (stage III, IV), high T classification (T3, T4), and lymph node metastasis. We provide the first evidence that the overexpression of XB130 is associated with tumorigenic properties of CCA cells, leading to CCA progression with aggressive clinical outcomes.

Both in vivo and in vitro experiments clarified that PDL has anti-inflammatory potency by inhibiting PI3K and p38 phosphorylation and activating the NLRP3 inflammasome. Our results suggested that PDL has an efficient and extensive anti-inflammatory effect, and its anti-inflammatory mechanisms may involve multiple inflammatory-associated signaling pathways, including HIF-1- and TNF-mediated pathways and NLRP3 inflammasome activation.

Journal, IO biomarker: A Novel Ruthenium-Fluvastatin Complex Downregulates SNCG Expression to Modulate Breast Carcinoma Cell Proliferation and Apoptosis via Activating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/VEGF/MMP9 Pathway. (Pubmed Central) - Dec 30, 2021 In addition, the complex was able to modify p53 expressions to interfere with apoptosis in the carcinoma of the breast, stimulated by the intrinsic apoptotic path assisted by Bcl2 and Bax in vivo, yet at the same point, controlling the PI3K/Akt/mTOR/VEGF pathway, as obtained from western blotting, correlates with the MMP9-regulated tumor mechanisms. Our research reveals that ruthenium-fluvastatin chemotherapy may disrupt, rescind, or interrupt breast carcinoma progression by modifying intrinsic apoptosis as well as the antiangiogenic cascade, thereby taking the role of a potential candidate in cancer therapy for the immediate future.
