Exploring the potential of AgNPs in modulating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway via miR-133a regulation in MCF-7 breast cancer cells [PDF]
Objective(s): Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women. MiRNAs modulate the PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) pathway, functioning as either tumor suppressors or oncogenes. This research explores the impact of AgNPs on breast cancer cells while emphasizing

Association of Genetic Variations in The PIK3-AKT-mTOR Pathway with Endometriosis Susceptibility: A Preliminary Case-Control Study [PDF]
Background: Endometriosis is a complex, heterogeneous disease with several genetic and non-genetic pathogenic factors. The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B/mammalian target of rapamycin (PI3K/AKT/mTOR) pathway may influence both ...

Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Regulates Thymic Exit [PDF]
Abstract To understand the role of PI3K during T cell development, we generated transgenic mice expressing the N terminus of the PI3K catalytic subunit (p110ABD; ABD, adaptor binding domain) in thymocytes. Expression of p110ABD activates endogenous p110 and results in the accumulation of mature single-positive CD3highheat-stable Aglow ...

Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase [PDF]
The pathogenesis of essential hypertension is multifactorial. Although the cause of elevated arterial pressure is unknown in most cases, the fundamental hemodynamic abnormality in hypertension is increased peripheral resistance primarily due to changes in vascular structure and function.1 These changes include arterial wall thickening and abnormal ...

The Serine/Threonine Protein Kinase (Akt)/ Protein Kinase B (PkB) Signaling Pathway in Breast Cancer [PDF]
According to statistical data published in 2019, breast cancer is among the leading causes of death in women worldwide. The serine/threonine kinase (AKT) or protein kinase B (PkB) signaling pathway is activated by phosphorylation processes, which further

Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase: The Oncoprotein [PDF]
The catalytic and regulatory subunits of class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) have oncogenic potential. The catalytic subunit p110α and the regulatory subunit p85 undergo cancer-specific gain-of-function mutations that lead to enhanced enzymatic activity, ability to signal constitutively, and oncogenicity.
