(Pubmed Central) - Jun 4, 2021 Everolimus plus exemestane is a well-known therapeutic option for aromatase inhibitor pretreated advanced breast cancer patients, and its toxicity profile is similar to that described in previous studies. Close monitoring, especially within the first three months, early intervention with preventive measures and patient education to help recognize the first signs and symptoms of AEs, will help to reduce their incidence and severity.

Preclinical, Journal: Combinatorial Therapies to Overcome BRAF/MEK Inhibitors Resistance in Melanoma Cells: An in vitro Study. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 4, 2021 Our results suggest that the combination of MAPK pathway inhibitors with mTOR pathway inhibitors and DCA should be considered as therapeutic options to treat melanoma patients, as the combinations potentiated the effects of each drug alone. In a cell line resistant to vemurafenib, we verified that combined MAPK inhibitors with inhibition of mTOR pathway and/or DCA metabolism modulation might constitute possible strategies in order to overcome resistance to MAPK inhibition.

Based on our results, we conclude that GSK458 may serve as an attractive candidate to treat ovarian cancer.

Journal, IO biomarker: Follicle inhibition at the primordial stage without increasing apoptosis, with a combination of everolimus, verapamil. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 3, 2021 This decrease was reversed in the presence of FSH after stopping drug administration. The expression of the anti-apoptotic molecule Bcl2 as well as of LC3-II and ATG12 was increased after removal of the Everolimus plus Verapamil combination, indicating reduced apoptosis and increased autophagy, whereas the levels of the proliferation marker PCNA in the granulosa cells were elevated, consistent with initiation of follicular growth.Thus, the combination of Everolimus plus Verapamil is capable of increasing the number of competent primordial follicles while reducing atresia.

Certain clinical pointers such as ashleaf macules, café-au-lait spots, shagreen patches and forehead plaques must therefore be looked for in a child with unprovoked seizures.

Methods Sensitivity of cell lines to single (alpelisib, everolimus, MK-2206) and double PI3K/mTOR (gedatolisib and dactolisib) pathway inhibitors was investigated using Crystal Violet assay under differing culture conditions (wo FBS, in the presence of fibroblast-conditioned medium -CM- or in direct co-culture)...Results Based on results obtained in PTEN isogenic cell lines (HCT116 Parental and HCT116 PTEN-/-) under different culture conditions, we show that sensitivity to MEK inhibition (trametinib) is dictated mainly by the genetic background of the cancer cells; conversely, the effect of PI3K/mTOR double inhibition is profoundly influenced by exposure to fibroblast CM...Paradoxical PI3K activation involves the assembly and cellular relocalization of macromolecular complexes orchestrated by the PDZ domain of PTEN, resulting in activation of the mTORC1/p70S6K pathway. Therefore, TME-mediated pathway modulation could be potentially exploited to improve the treatment of PTEN-competent CRC patients and overcome therapeutic resistance to PI3K/mTOR inhibitor.

Journal: Selective inhibition of mTORC1 in tumor vessels increases antitumor immunity. (Pubmed Central) - Jun 1, 2021 Here we show that low-dose RAD001/everolimus, an mTORC1 inhibitor, selectively targets mTORC1 signaling in endothelial cells (ECs) without affecting tumor cells or immune cells, resulting in tumor vessel normalization and increased antitumor immunity...Importantly, analyses of human tumor data sets support our animal studies. Collectively, these findings demonstrate that endothelial mTORC1 is an actionable target for tumor vessel normalization, which could be leveraged to enhance antitumor immune therapies.
