MET exon 14 skipping mutation predicts for response to MET TKIs in human lung adenocarcinomas but co-occurrence of PIK3CA mutation needs to be better evaluated as a modifier of response to TKI therapy.
104 consecutively resected lung adenocarcinomas from 396 non-smoker females (less than 100 cigarettes in a lifetime) at a single institution (Tongji University, Shanghai, China) were analyzed for mutations in EGFR, EML4-ALK, KRAS, HER2, BRAF, and PIK3CA.
Here we report measurements of PIK3CAH1047R mutant fraction (MF) in normal colonic mucosa, normal lung, colonic adenomas, colonic adenocarcinomas, and lung adenocarcinomas.
The PIK3CA mutation rate in lung adenocarcinoma with acquired resistance to EGFR TKI is not higher than that in EGFR TKI-naïve tissue specimens (2.9% (6/207) vs. 1.8%; p = 0.344).
Combination of a MEK inhibitor at sub-MTD with a PI3K/mTOR inhibitor significantly suppresses growth of lung adenocarcinoma tumors in Kras(G12D-LSL) mice.
In this surgical series, 52 resected lung adenocarcinomas from never-smokers (< 100 cigarettes in a lifetime) at a single institution (Fudan University, Shanghai, China) were analyzed concurrently for mutations in EGFR, KRAS, NRAS, HRAS, HER2, BRAF, ALK, PIK3CA, TP53 and LKB1.
In this series, 230 resected lung adenocarcinomas from smoker (>100 cigarettes in lifetime) at single center (Shanghai Cancer Center, Shanghai, China) were tested for mutation in EGFR, KRAS, BRAF, HER2, EML4-ALK and PIK3CA.
Two STAT3 siRNAs decreased PD-L1 expression by 10-32% in two of the three KRAS-mutant lung adenocarcinoma cell lines (p < 0.05), while the PI3K inhibitor LY294002 (40 μM) did not change the expression level.
Finally, in nude mice bearing established HCT15 and H1975 subcutaneous tumor xenografts, the combined treatment with pimasertib and BEZ235 (a dual PI3K/mTOR inhibitor) or with sorafenib caused significant tumor growth delays and increase in mice survival as compared to single agent treatment.
Regulation of different components from Ophiopogon japonicus on autophagy in human lung adenocarcinoma A549Cells through PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
To summary, genes involved in cell adhesion, ECM-receptor interaction, focal adhesion, and PI3K-Akt signaling pathway play crucial roles in human lung adenocarcinomas.
We report that SIRT1 protein levels are downregulated by oncogenic K-RAS in a MEK and PI3K-dependent manner in mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), and in human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines.
To elucidate how EGFR signaling is linked to metabolic activity, we investigated the involvement of the RAS/MEK/ERK and PI3K/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathways on metabolic alteration in lung adenocarcinoma (LAD) cell lines with activating EGFR mutations.
This study reveals a critical role for the PTEN/PI3K pathway in both SCLC and lung adenocarcinoma and provides an ideal system to test the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway inhibitors as targeted therapy for subsets of patients with SCLC.
MicroRNA-218 regulates the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway to suppress lung adenocarcinoma progression by directly targeting BMI-1.
The PI3K protein family acted as critical roles in the lung adenocarcinoma, since the components of the PI3K protein family include PIK3C2B, PIK3CA, PIK3R1 and so forth were presented in the intersections.
These data identify RIT1 as a driver oncogene in a specific subset of lung adenocarcinomas and suggest PI3K and MEK inhibition as a potential therapeutic strategy in RIT1-mutated tumors.
We hypothesize that activation of PP2A simultaneously inhibits the PI3K and MAPK pathways and represents a promising therapeutic strategy for the treatment of TKI-resistant LUAD.
