The effect of paclitaxel combined with lobaplatin on the sensitivity of lung cancer cell line NCI-H446 through influencing the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt pathway was investigated.
Our analysis also highlighted the potential of these LC-miRNAs to regulate the cell differentiation, proliferation, endocytosis and migration signaling logically required to cause an LC cell mainly through five canonical pathways (PI3K-Akt signaling pathway, pathways in cancer, MAPK signaling pathway, HTLV-I infection and focal adhesion).
Compared with those in the control group, expression of PI3K and Akt in the lung cancer cells H1299 after EGCG treatment showed no significant differences (p>0.05), while expression levels of p-PI3K and p-Akt were significantly reduced (p<0.05).
Combined TAE684 with PI3K inhibitor synergistically inhibited the proliferation of EML4-ALK-positive cells in vitro and significantly suppressed the growth of H2228 xenografts in vivo, suggesting the potential clinical application of such combinatorial therapy regimens in patients with EML4-ALK positive lung cancer.
Inhibition of lung cancer growth: ATP citrate lyase knockdown and statin treatment leads to dual blockade of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) and phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT pathways.
Ectopic expression of CD74-NRG1 in lung cancer cell lines expressing ERBB2 and ERBB3 activated ERBB3 and the PI3K-AKT pathway, and led to increased colony formation in soft agar.
cIAP2 upregulated by E6 via EGFR/PI3K/AKT cascades may contribute to cisplatin resistance, revealing that the EGFR or PI3K inhibitor combined with cisplatin may improve the chemotherapeutic efficacy in HPV-infected lung cancer.
Finally, we identified that the PI3K-AKT and epilthelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) signaling pathways were inhibited by miR-3666 overexpression in lung cancer cells.
Aberrant activation of PI3K/AKT signalling represents one of the most common molecular alterations in lung cancer, though the relative contribution of the single components of the cascade to the NSCLC development is still poorly defined.
These findings not only shed light on the molecular mechanisms that are activated by aberrant signalling through the PI3K/AKT pathway in lung epithelial cells, but also contribute to the identification of previously unrecognised molecules whose regulation takes part in the development of lung cancer.
This work sheds light on the ability of RASto activate PI3K through direct interaction, indicating that input is also required from a receptor tyrosinekinase, IGF1R in the case of KRAS -mutant lung cancer.
When the chimeric ubiquitin ligases were introduced into lung cancer SPC-A1 cells, they effectively associated with EGFR, promoted its ubiquitination and degradation, and as a result, blocked the downstream PI3K-Akt signal pathway.
In conclusion, reduced proliferation and increased apoptosis in A549 lung cancer cells was associated with inhibition of the PI3K/AKT/HIF‑1α/ and NF‑κB/COX‑2 signaling pathways, which implicates genistein as a potential chemotherapeutic agent for the treatment of lung cancer.
Therefore, targeting the PI3K pathway may be a potential therapeutic strategy that prevents the structural skeletal damage associated with bone metastasis of lung cancer.
