mTOR (Mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase)

Such findings were supported by renal histological features improvement. In conclusion, CAR counteracted the renal damage induced by DOX via suppressing oxidative stress, inflammatory response, and apoptosis through downregulation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR and Bax/Bcl2 and upregulation of Nrf2/HO-1 signals.

Next-generation sequencing-based molecular profiling had clinical utility in two-thirds of patients, and the greatest benefit was within the broad category of ccRCN. Our results suggest that GPNMB expression was helpful in separating ELOC-RCCfms from M/TSC-RCCfms. Other benefits of NGS include subtyping high-grade RCC/RCC type not otherwise specified and identification of rare phenotypes.

The expression of ATP1A1, survivin, and SMAC did not differ by sex or diet, although an upregulation trend in both ATP1A1 and survivin was noted in the male-HFD group. There is sexual dimorphism in the response to HFD during the transition from senescence to the apoptosis-first apoptotic switch in MASH progression.

This study showed that TAS2R14 knockout in oral cancer cells significantly decreased calcium mobilization, increased cell numbers, colony formation, the proliferation marker proliferating cell nuclear antigen, and the phosphorylation of mechanistic target of rapamycin, but did not affect cell viability...Therefore, T2R14 downregulation increased oral cancer CPG, suggesting a tumor-suppressor-like role. The study's findings could improve our understanding of T2R14 mechanisms and help develop strategies to advance oral cancer treatment by targeting T2R14.

In contrast, intracellular Ca2+ concentration and activated Ras were transiently increased in hepatocytes after EPO stimulation, and EPO-induced activated Ras was significantly suppressed by the specific PKC inhibitor GF109203X. These results indicate that EPO engages the JAK2/PLC/PKC-Ca2+ signaling cascade, leading to the sequential activation of Ras, C-Raf, and ERK2, ultimately promoting hepatocyte proliferation in vitro.

Targeting mTOR signaling contributes to the regulation of Galectin-1 immune checkpoint activity in KMT2Ar-ALL. Inhibition of mTOR may represent a potential therapeutic strategy to overcome immune evasion in this leukemia subtype.

The identification of sex-associated and race-associated mutational patterns, together with the enrichment of MTOR alterations in recurrent and metastatic disease, highlights biologically plausible mechanisms of progression and potential therapeutic vulnerabilities. These findings support the value of comprehensive genomic profiling in TC and emphasize the need for prospective, multi-omic studies to validate these observations and guide the development of more personalized treatment strategies.

EGF/EGFR expression is associated with immunosuppressive microenvironments and adverse outcomes in HGG. Radiomics may provide a non-invasive approach for estimating EGFR expression, although model performance requires external validation and EGFR-ADCs showed partial inhibitory activity within the tested range, though potency remains to be defined.These findings suggest a framework into radiogenomic stratification and targeted therapy in GBM.

Calibration curve analysis and DCA showed that the combination models were both well calibrated and clinically useful. Machine learning models integrating multi-parametric MRI radiomics and clinicopathological features can be a potential tool for predicting PTEN, PIK3CA, and mTOR expression status in EC patients.

The Western blot results of tumor tissues revealed that the pyroptosis effect of PPII on liver cancer was associated with the activation of the NLRP3/Caspase1/GSDMD pathway, which upregulates the expression of NLRP3, Cleaved-Caspase 1, GSDMD-N, IL-1β, and IL-18 proteins and downregulates the expression of pro-Caspase 1 and GSDMD proteins. In summary, our findings revealed the pyroptosis effect and mechanism of PPII in HCC cells in vitro and in vivo, suggesting that PPII may be used as a potential pyroptosis inducer for HCC treatment in the future.

ANXA2P2 and PA2G4P4 are clinically relevant pseudogenes associated with tumor aggressiveness, immune modulation, and radiotherapy response in HNSCC. These findings support their potential utility as prognostic and predictive biomarkers and provide a rationale for further functional validation in experimental models.
