BACKGROUND The phosphatidylinositol-3- kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway (PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway) plays a key role in cancer. We performed this meta-analysis to assess the clinical effect of using PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibitors on advanced solid tumours. METHODS All the randomised controlled trials (RCT) that compared the therapy with PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway inhibi...

miRNAs pose a good prospect in the diagnosis and treatment of type 2 diabetes (T2D). This study is aimed at investigating whether miR-720 targets Rab35 to regulate insulin secretion MIN6 cells its molecular mechanism clinical value as specific biomarker T2D. Fifty-five samples new T2D patients normal control were collected. Levels miR-720, fasting blood glucose, insulin, other indicators glucos...

The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway plays an important role in cell proliferation, transformation, apoptosis, tumor growth and angiogenesis. Paclitaxel is commonly used to treat multiple human malignancies; however, the underlying mechanisms of paclitaxel in gastric cancer (GC) have not been fully investigated. In the present study, specimens from 45 GC and 36 chronic...

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture on expression ERM/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in brain tissue around infarct focus ischemic stroke model rats. Methods: According to block randomization method, 80 male SD rats were divided into normal group (n = 10), sham operation 24), 23) and 23). The was bred routinely without any intervention. In group, only skin cut find nerves blood vessels ...

CGRP and specific CGRP receptors are found in the heart where they produce positive-inotropic and anti-apoptotic effects, key adaptations to exercise and cardiovascular disease. PI3K/Akt and MAPK signaling imbalances are associated with cardiomyocyte pathologies; however, the effects of CGRP on these pathways are unclear. Therefore, we hypothesized that CGRP modulates inotropic and apoptotic ad...

UNLABELLED The PI3K-AKT signaling pathway regulates all phenotypes that contribute to progression of human cancers, including breast cancer. AKT mediates signal relay by phosphorylating numerous substrates, which are causally implicated in biologic responses such as cell growth, survival, metabolic reprogramming, migration, and invasion. Here a new AKT substrate is identified, the adherens junc...

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common cancer of digestive system. Recently, transmembrane proteins (TMEMs) have been extensively studied in different types malignant tumors. However, influence TMEM206 hepatocellular unclear. The UALCAN database was used to investigate expression mRNA liver tissues and Human Protein Atlas (THPA) study HCC tissues. measured normal HL-7702 cells HepG2,...

The alkylation of 3,5-dihydro-4H-pyridazino[4,5-b]indole-4-thione with benzyl bromide, ethyl chloroacetate, and allyl bromide in the presence potassium carbonate (K2CO3) yielded new alkylsulfanylpyridazino[4,5-b]indole derivatives (i.e., compounds 4–6). Hydrazinolysis ester 6 resulted hydrazide 7. structure compound was verified by X-ray single-crystal analysis. Among synthesized compounds, exh...

Therapeutic inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) in cancer is complicated by the existence of a negative feedback loop linking mTOR to the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway. Thus, mTOR inhibition by rapamycin or TSC1/2 results in increased PI3K-Akt activation. The death domain kinase receptor interacting protein 1 (RIP1) plays a key role in nuclear factor-kappaB (NF...

Different lines of evidence indicate that both aberrant activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-OH kinase (PI3K)/Akt survival pathway and down-regulation of the death mediator ceramide play a critical role in the aggressive behavior, apoptosis resistance, and adverse clinical outcome of glioblastoma multiforme. Furthermore, the inhibition of the PI3K/Akt pathway and the up-regulation of cerami...
