AKT1 amplification

Importantly, co-targeting N-cadherin and p110α/AKT caused additive reduction in cell migration in vitro and metastases formation in vivo. Together, this study reveals the molecular pathways driven by the PIK3CA aberrations and the exploitable vulnerabilities in PIK3CA-aberrated serous ovarian cancer cells.

We will use the organoids modeling system -using primary endometrial cells harboring ARID1A mutations- to assess the impact of EO3001 on organoid growth and response to stress conditions and evaluate the effect of EO3001 on cancer metastesis by the ex vivo pulmonary metastasis assay (PuMA). Conclusions Exploiting the vulnerability in reliance on OXPHOS in ARID1A-deficient CCC using EO3001 might represent a promising strategy for the treatment of these patients as well as patients harboring other ARID1A-deficient malignancies.

Clinicians who treat patients with endometrial cancer should understand the role of molecular classification in guiding treatment. The goal of this practice statement is to guide appropriate testing, interpretation, and application of molecular information in endometrial cancer.

This is the first large-scale whole-genome sequencing for DFSP, and our findings describe the comprehensive genomic landscape, highlighting the molecular complexity and genomic aberrations of DFSP. Our findings also provide novel potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for this disease. What is already known about this topic? Chromosomal translocation between chromosome 17 and chromosome 22 is the main feature in the pathogenesis of dermatofibrosarcoma protuberans (DFSP). What does this study add? We describe the comprehensive genomic landscape of DFSP, highlighting the molecular complexity and genomic aberrations. Our findings provide novel potential diagnostic and therapeutic targets for this disease. What is the translational message? Our study revealed novel molecular subtypes of DFSP based on genetic mutations, which benefits precision diagnosis. We also found oncogene amplification, including AKT1 and SPHK1, which provides novel potential target molecules for further DFSP treatment. In addition to gene fusion of COL1A1-PDGFβ, we identified a novel gene fusion of SLC2A5-BTBD7 in DFSP, which is a novel potential diagnostic and therapeutic target for this disease.

We review pre-clinical evidence for inhibitors of the main components of the PI3K pathway and highlight past, current and upcoming trials in ovarian cancers for different inhibitors of the pathway. Whilst no inhibitors of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway have thus far advanced to the clinic for the treatment of ovarian cancer, several promising compounds which have the potential to restore platinum sensitivity and improve clinical outcomes for patients are under evaluation and in various phases of clinical trials.

Negative ultraselection warrants further investigation with the aim of maximizing the benefit of EGFR blockade strategies in patients with RAS and BRAF wild-type, microsatellite stable mCRC.

In the era of comprehensive genomic profiling, several resistance alterations with extremely low prevalence may be detected, especially in CRCs that do not bear other genomic drivers. Negative ultra-selection may represent a relevant step forward in precision medicine in patients with RAS/BRAF wt MSS mCRC potentially eligible for EGFR blockade.

Increased phosphorylation of PTEN was found in 77% low-grade and 66% high-grade. Our results indicate that alterations in the EGFR/PI3K/AKT/PTEN pathway could be important in the initiation and malignant progression of this type of tumor.

On the other hand, the chance of HPV-negative cancers harboring mutation on the P53 gene is significantly higher than that of HPV-positive disease. This review focuses on the updated preclinical and clinical data of HPV-positive and HPV-negative HNSCC and discusses the therapeutic strategies of different HPV status in HNSCC.

Palbociclib could reverse afatinib, docetaxel, & radiation resistance...CDK7/8/9/12/13 are involved in RNA polymerase II function with RNA elongation pause/release, transcription & onco-histones control, and SWI/SNF superfamily with epigenetic modifications. HNSCC cell lines(SCC4, SCC9, SCC15, SCC25, FaDu, KB, Cal27, SAS, and TW2.6, betel-nuts related) were tested in (1)in vitro sensitivity to CDK inhibitors; (2)synergistic effect of AZD4573(CDK9 inhibitor) with other therapies by MTT assay, colony formation, flow cytometry, & western blotting; (3) NGS studies to elucidate molecular mechanisms. Palbociclib response correlated to CCND1 gain & CDKN2A deletion; but FaDu had poor response with both and TW2.6 had good response without both... CCND1 gain & CDKN2A deletion could not fully predict CDK4/6 inhibitor response. TW2.6 is responsive to CDK4/6 inhibitors(palbociclib>ribociclib>abemaciclib). FAT1 loss, CCND3 amplification, PI3K/AKT/mTOR derangements, & FGFR amplification might imply CDK4/6 inhibitor resistance.
