Rapamycin induces transactivation of the EGFR and increases cell survival. [PDF]
, 2009 The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling network regulates cell growth, proliferation and cell survival. Deregulated activation of this pathway is a common event in diverse human diseases such as cancers, cardiac hypertrophy, vascular ...

Targeting mTOR for cancer therapy
Journal of Hematology & Oncology, 2019 Mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a protein kinase regulating cell growth, survival, metabolism, and immunity. mTOR is usually assembled into several complexes such as mTOR complex 1/2 (mTORC1/2).

Structural basis for the assembly of the Ragulator-Rag GTPase complex
Nature Communications, 2017 mTORC1 activity is controlled through Rag GTPases, which are anchored to the lysosome through the Ragulator. Here, the authors give molecular insights into Ragulator-Rag GTPase assembly and present the crystal structures of the Ragulator alone and in ...

Organoids in pediatric cancer research
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

The Role of P4HA1 in Multiple Cancer Types and its Potential as a Target in Renal Cell Carcinoma
Frontiers in Genetics, 2022 Background: Prolyl 4-hydroxylase subunit alpha 1 (P4HA1) provides the majority of the catalytic site of the active P4H enzyme. Emerging evidence has revealed that P4HA1 participates in the initiation and development of several malignant tumors.

Protein pyrophosphorylation by inositol pyrophosphates — detection, function, and regulation
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Protein pyrophosphorylation is an unusual signaling mechanism that was discovered two decades ago. It can be driven by inositol pyrophosphate messengers and influences various cellular processes. Herein, we summarize the research progress and challenges of this field, covering pathways found to be regulated by this posttranslational modification as ...

Calcium signalling links MYC to NUAK1 [PDF]
, 2018 NUAK1 is a member of the AMPK-related family of kinases. Recent evidence suggests that NUAK1 is an important regulator of cell adhesion and migration, cellular and organismal metabolism, and regulation of TAU stability.

The newfound relationship between extrachromosomal DNAs and excised signal circles
FEBS Letters, EarlyView.Extrachromosomal DNAs (ecDNAs) contribute to the progression of many human cancers. In addition, circular DNA by‐products of V(D)J recombination, excised signal circles (ESCs), have roles in cancer progression but have largely been overlooked. In this Review, we explore the roles of ecDNAs and ESCs in cancer development, and highlight why these ...

Stromal control of oncogenic traits expressed in response to the overexpression of GLI2, a pleiotropic oncogene. [PDF]
, 2009 Hedgehog signaling is often activated in tumors, yet it remains unclear how GLI2, a transcription factor activated by this pathway, acts as an oncogene. We show that GLI2 is a pleiotropic oncogene.
