Point mutations of the mTOR-RHEB pathway in renal cell carcinoma
Aberrations in the mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin) axis are frequently reported in cancer. Using publicly available tumor genome sequencing data, we identified several point mutations in MTOR and its upstream regulator RHEB (Ras homolog enriched in brain) in patients with clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), the most common histology of kidney cancer. Interestingly, we found a promin...
متن کاملmTOR inhibitors in renal cell carcinoma.
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a downstream effector of the PI3-K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Allosteric inhibitors of mTOR, everolimus and temsirolimus, have shown promising clinical activity in advanced renal cell carcinoma but their effect is far from durable and only a subset of patients experience substantial benefit from these agents. The PI3-K/Akt/mTOR pathway represents an intricate ...
متن کاملCircadian regulation of mTOR by the ubiquitin pathway in renal cell carcinoma.
Circadian clock systems regulate many biologic functions, including cell division and hormone secretion in mammals. In this study, we explored the effects of circadian control on the pivot cell growth regulatory mTOR, the activity of which is deregulated in tumor cells compared with normal cells. Specifically, we investigated whether the antitumor effect of an mTOR inhibitor could be improved b...
متن کاملSilibinin induces apoptosis through inhibition of the mTOR-GLI1-BCL2 pathway in renal cell carcinoma.
The downstream transcriptional factor of the hedgehog (Hh) pathway, GLI family zinc finger 1 (GLI1), plays a crucial role in regulating tumor progression. In the present study, we demonstrated that silibinin, a natural flavonoid antioxidant isolated from extracts of the milk thistle herb, exerts its anticancer capabilities by restraining GLI1 function in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) cells in vitr...
متن کاملDyspnea as the First Manifestation of Silent Renal Cell Carcinoma
Renal cell carcinoma (RCC) accounts for only 3% of adult malignancies, and the lung is the most common site of metastasis of this tumor, which may be accompanied by pleural metastasis. However, solitary pleural involvement is very rare and its presentation with dyspnea as the first manifestation of RCC is extremely rare.We describe a 39-year-old male with episodes of dyspnea dating back 6...
