Collectively, TMEM158 was upregulated in PC and promoted PC cell proliferation, migration, and invasion through the activation of TGFβ1 and PI3K/AKT signaling pathways, highlighting its potential as a tumor promoter and a therapeutic target for PC.
YY1 targets tubulin polymerisation-promoting protein to inhibit migration, invasion and angiogenesis in pancreatic cancer via p38/MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways.
These results indicated that arsenic trioxide could act anti-tumor function through PI3K-Akt single pathway and identified critical genes might be therapeutic targets for pancreatic cancer.
Additionally, we found that combination of sub-optimal concentrations of inhibitors selective for PDK1 and the class IB PI3K isoform p110γ inhibits pancreatic cancer cell growth and colonies formation more potently than each single treatment.
Very few anticancer drugs targeting the PI3K pathway have been approved for clinical use and their efficacy is particularly limited towards certain tumors such as pancreatic cancer.
MiR-142 over-expression weakened ADM resistance in pancreatic cancer cells by targeting DJ-1 to enhance PTEN expression and attenuate PI3K/AKT signaling pathway activity.
According to the results of further mechanistic investigations, Girdin may regulate cell processes through the phosphatidylinositol‑3‑kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signalling pathway to exert additive effects on pancreatic cancer.
Mechanistically, the knockdown of ABHD11-AS1 decreased phospho(p) AKT and phospho(p) PI3K expression, but did not affect the AKT and PI3K expression in PC cells CONCLUSIONS: This study suggested that ABHD11-AS1 may potentially function as a valuable prognostic biomarker and a therapeutic target for PC patients.
Our study aimed to investigate the interaction between peroxiredoxin 1 (Prx1) and forkhead box O3 (FOXO3) and to explore the role of PI3K/AKT pathway in the development of pancreatic cancer.
In this study, we investigated the potential therapeutic effect of blockading PD-L1 expression on the progression of pancreatic cancer and its spontaneous liver metastases in vivo by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
