Abstract:
This study reports a relationship between Akt3 expression and tissue-specific regulation of the pI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway by copaiba essential oil. Akt3, a protein kinase B isoform important for the regulation of neuronal development, exhibited differential expression levels in cells of various origins. In neuronal and microglial cells, where Akt3 is present, copaiba essential oil positively regulated the pI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. In contrast, in liver cells and T lymphocytes, where Akt3 is absent, copaiba essential oil negatively regulated the pI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. The

We examined functional status, activation mechanisms, and biologic role of the mTORC1 signaling pathway in malignant CD4+ T cells derived from the cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Whereas the spontaneously growing CTCL-derived cell lines displayed persistent activation of the TORC1 as well as the PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK pathways, the IL-2–dependent cell lines activated the pathways in response to IL-2 and IL-15 but not IL-21. Activation of mTORC1 and MEK/ERK was nutrient dependent. The mTORC1, PI3K/Akt, and MEK/ERK pathways could also be activated by IL-2 in the primary leukemic, mitogen-preacti

Abstract:
68 Background: Gastric cancer (GC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death with poor prognosis and “one-size fits all approach”. Dysregulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is a common event in GC with PIK3CAmutations reported to correlate with poor prognosis. With prognosis far from satisfactory, we aimed to identify novel surrogate biomarkers. We hypothesize the role of DP103, a DEAD-box RNA helicase, as a novel surrogate biomarker for GC by regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway. Additionally, we shed light on high DP103 GC cells responding to Akt/mTOR dual inhibitor treatment, indicating its p
