Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE HGF-induced phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase (MEK) pathway substrate p42/p44(erk) and phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) pathway substrate Akt provided evidence for downstream activation of MEK and PI3K pathways in HNSCC. 11479233 2001
Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck
0.100 AlteredExpression disease BEFREE HRAS mutant cells are resistant to PI3K inhibition and our findings suggest the involvement of a signalling intersection of the MAPK and PI3K pathways at the level of ERK-TSC2, leading to persistent mTOR activity. mTOR inhibition alone or in combination with MAPK pathway inhibition may be a promising therapeutic strategy for this subset of HNSCC tumors. 30115483 2018
