The novel mTOR inhibitor RAD001 (Everolimus) induces antiproliferative effects in human pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Background/Aim: Tumors exhibiting constitutively activated PI(3) K/Akt/mTOR signaling are hypersensitive to mTOR inhibitors such as RAD001 (everolimus) which is presently being investigated in clinical phase II trials in various tumor entities, including

Resistance to mTOR kinase inhibitors in lymphoma cells lacking 4EBP1.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2014
Inhibitors of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) hold promise for treatment of hematological malignancies. Analogs of the allosteric mTOR inhibitor rapamycin are approved for mantle cell lymphoma but have limited efficacy in other blood cancers ...

Deptor: not only a mTOR inhibitor [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Experimental & Clinical Cancer Research, 2017
Deptor is an important protein that belongs to the mTORC1 and mTORC2 complexes, able to interact with mTOR and to inhibit its kinase activity. As a natural mTOR inhibitor, Deptor is involved in several molecular pathways, such as cell growth, apoptosis, autophagy and ER stress response.

Potential Therapeutic Roles for Inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR Pathway in the Pathophysiology of Diabetic Retinopathy

open access: yesJournal of Ophthalmology, 2011
Novel therapeutics such as inhibitors of PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway presents a unique opportunity for the management of diabetic retinopathy (DR). Second generation mTOR inhibitors have the prospect to be efficacious in managing various stages of disease ...

PI3K/AKT/mTOR-Targeted Therapy for Breast Cancer

open access: yesCells, 2022
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) and mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) (PAM) pathways play important roles in breast tumorigenesis and confer worse prognosis in breast cancer patients.

Rapamycin and mTOR kinase inhibitors [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Chemical Biology, 2008
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase that controls cell growth, proliferation, and survival. mTOR signaling is often upregulated in cancer and there is great interest in developing drugs that target this enzyme. Rapamycin and its analogs bind to a domain separate from the catalytic site to block a subset of mTOR functions.

Quantitative phosphoproteomics reveal that mTOR regulates cell growth and proliferation by phosphorylating a functionally diverse set of substrates [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The atypical Ser/Thr kinase target of rapamycin (TOR) is a central controller of cell growth and proliferation. TOR forms two distinct multiprotein complexes, TORC1 and TORC2, which are structurally and functionally conserved from yeast to humans.

In vitro delivery of mTOR inhibitors by kidney-targeted micelles for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

open access: yesSLAS Technology, 2023
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) is the most common genetic kidney disease and is characterized by the formation of renal cysts and the eventual development of end-stage kidney disease.

Development of novel, potent and selective small molecular weight PI3K/mTOR inhibitors for the treatment of cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) belong to a family of lipid kinases, which are implicated in signal transduction pathways and modulation of fundamental cellular activities such as cell growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, survival and

GSK3-mediated raptor phosphorylation supports amino acid-dependent Q2 mTORC1-directed signalling [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The mammalian or mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a ubiquitously expressed multimeric protein kinase complex that integrates nutrient and growth factor signals for the co-ordinated regulation of cellular metabolism and cell ...
