In DLBCL lines, TMD8 was the most sensitive to ibrutinib (GI<sub>50</sub> = 0.001); combinations with BCL-2 inhibitor ABT-199, and PI3K inhibitors IPI-145 and GDC-0941 showed the strongest synergistic activity.
However, in preclinical studies, the synergistic effects of PI3K inhibitors and HDAC inhibitors on DLBCL have sparked the enthusiasm of researchers to target both PI3K and HDAC.
Here, we examined the mechanism by which the cyclic-AMP/PDE4 signaling axis suppresses PI3K, toward identifying a novel mechanism-based combinatorial strategy to attack BCR-dependency in mature B-cell malignancies.<b>Experimental Design:</b> We used <i>in vitro</i> and <i>in vivo</i> diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) cell lines and primary chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) samples to preclinically evaluate the effects of the combination of the FDA-approved phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE4) inhibitor roflumilast and idelalisib on cell survival and tumor growth.
In a high-throughput combinatorial drug screening experiment, BETi enhance the antiproliferative effects of PI3K inhibitors in a panel of diffuse large B cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma cell lines.
Taken together, our results suggest that ROR1 is a novel prognostic marker for DLBCL survival and ROR1 significantly promotes DLBCL tumorigenesis by regulating the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
We analyzed cancer-specific biclusters and found that the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is strongly enriched with targets of a few miRNAs in breast cancer and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/RAC-α serine/threonine-protein kinase (AKT) pathway is constitutively activated in a number of lymphoid malignancy types, including diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) and Burkitt lymphoma.
CXCR4 upregulation is an indicator of sensitivity to B-cell receptor/PI3K blockade and a potential resistance mechanism in B-cell receptor-dependent diffuse large B-cell lymphomas.
The results of Bioinformatics analysis revealed that the target genes including NEDD4L and UBA52 and several associated pathways including PI3K/AKT and MAPK/ERK might be involved in the development of CD5+ R/R DLBCL.
Phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K) signaling is a common feature of B-cell neoplasms, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and PI3K inhibitors have been introduced into the clinic.
