Abstract:
Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase (PI3K) enzymes control a variety of cellular processes and their deregulation has been extensively investigated in disease conditions including renal disease, autoimmunity and chronic inflammation. Whilst PI3K enzymes have been the subject of intense research activity, the precise biological role of PI3K-C2?? enzyme remains unclear. PI3K-C2??-/- mice developed focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, damaging podocyte morphology and affecting function. My thesis explored the contribution of the PI3K-C2?? enzyme in the pathology of chronic diseases. PI3K-C2??flx/+ mice were

Abstract:
The influenza A virus non-structural (NS1) protein is multifunctional, and during virus-infection NS1 interacts with several factors in order to manipulate host-cell processes. This study reports that NS1 binds directly to p85β, a regulatory subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), but not to the related p85α. Expression of NS1 was sufficient to activate PI3K and cause the phosphorylation of a downstream mediator of PI3K signalling, Akt. However, in virus-infected MDCK cells, the kinetics of Akt phosphorylation did not correlate with NS1 expression, and suggested that negative regulation o

Pericytes (PCs) are important regulators of the vascular development promoting vessel growth and stabilization. They have recently emerged as a therapeutic target to promote or inhibit angiogenesis. Therefore, advancing our basic understanding on PCs biology and its molecular regulators during physiological angiogenesis is essential to develop PC-related therapies. One of the major pathways leading to cellular proliferation, migration, and survival is relayed by PI3K.

<p> Autophagy is a cellular recycling process in which cytoplasmic proteins and organelles are sequestered in a double membrane vesicle, delivered to the lysosome, and degraded following fusion of the two vesicles.

In humans there are eight P13K isoforms divided into three classes, four class I enzymes, three class II enzymes, and a single class III enzyme.

Abstract:
The PI3K family is central to numerous cellular processes in both health and disease. The class IA isoforms of PI3K control such outputs as proliferation, metabolism and survival through their well-characterised function as lipid kinases, with their signalling thought to predominantly mediated by the Akt/PKB protein kinase. However there exist other signalling routes, including from the lipid kinase activity through other effectors, but also through a protein kinase function of the class IA isoforms themselves. Mass spectrometry is a powerful tool which has been central to the recent advances

Mutações nesta via tem sido associadas com o processo carcinogênico de diferentes tipos tumorais. Atualmente, inibidores específicos de proteínas como a PI3K, AKT, mTOR, vem sendo testados com o intuito de otimizar a terapia antitumoral em seres humanos e animais. Além de potenciais

Abstract:
Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer deaths and is commonly diagnosed in both males and females. The cause of lung cancer is mainly attributable to cigarette smoking and aging, accounting for more than half of all lung cancer deaths. Non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the most common subtype of lung cancer (about 80%) compared to small cell lung cancer (SCLC) and it is normally subclassified into squamous cell carcinoma, adenocarcinoma and large cell carcinoma. Cisplatin-based treatments are the main first-line regimens for any stage of NSCLC, although platinum has over a 40-year histor

Abstract:
Cell Biology<br>Ph.D.<br>Cbl is a multivalent protein that interacts with a number of signaling molecules that affect cell proliferation, migration and apoptosis. Although it is a downstream effector of growth factors, cytokines and integrin signaling all of which influence bone mass, very few studies have examined the role of Cbl in osteoblast proliferation and differentiation. To examine the role(s) of Cbl in the skeletal system we have focused specifically on phosphorylation of CblY737 since it is a unique to Cbl (not present on other family members) and upon phosphorylation by Src family k

Abstract:
The tumour suppressor PTEN is frequently lost in advanced prostate cancer leading to over-activation of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. Therefore targeting of the PI3K signalling with pathway-specific inhibitors has been proposed as a therapeutic strategy. Inhibition of AKT and mTOR kinases in prostate cancer cell lines showed a decrease in cell viability and reduction in phospho-biomarkers expression. Although apoptosis was not induced, a decrease in cell migration and G1 cell growth arrest were observed in LNCaP cells. However, in primary prostate cultures activation of the Ras/MEK/ERK compensato

Wachstumsfaktor bedingte Aktivierung des PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signalweg wirkt positiv auf Vermehrung und Überleben. Konstitutive Aktivierung des Signalweges in NHL ist jedoch an Tumorprogression und Therapieresistenz beteiligt. Am Zelllinienmodell wurden zwei mögliche Therapiestrategien der PI3K/Akt/mTOR Inhibition erprobt, PI3K Inhibition mit BKM120 und horizontale Kombination von Zytostatika mit PI3K/Akt/mTOR Inhibitoren Erstens, BKM120 hat Antitumoraktivität in NHL und induziert Zelltod.

Abstract:
Il trapianto allogenico di cellule staminali emopoietiche è spesso l’unica soluzione per la cura di diverse malattie ematologiche. La aGVHD è la complicanza più importante che si può avere a seguito del trapianto allogenico ed è causata dai linfociti T del donatore che riconoscono gli antigeni del ricevente presentati dalle APC. Eliminare o inattivare la APC del ricevente prima del trapianto potrebbe prevenire la aGVHD. Ad oggi non esistono farmaci specifici diretti contro le APC, sono però noti i meccanismi molecolari coinvolti nella sopravvivenza cellulare come la via di segnale di PI3K.
