PIK3CA expression

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.

Cell migration: mock: p = 0.004, and control siRNA: p = 0.014). In conclusion, this study suggests that APOBEC3B may be a new potential therapeutic target for endometriosis.

Meanwhile, a prediction model F was constructed based on binary logistic regression analysis data with good fit, and through ROC curve analysis. It was found that p16, C-myc, PIK3CA, and logistic model F can effectively predict HPV16/18 (+), with model F having the best diagnostic performance.

In gastric cancer, high expression levels of RARα/RARβ/RARγ/RXRβ transcripts are associated with poor clinical and molecular characteristics as well as with reduced overall-survival. Our data are consistent with the idea that RARα, RARβ, RARγ and RXRβ represent potential prognostic markers and therapeutic targets of gastric cancer.

In conclusion, miR-375 has anti-proliferative and cell migration inhibitory effects in prostate cancer. However, studies demonstrate that miR-375 may have tumor suppressor and oncogenic effects when considering cell molecular differences.

Lastly, the RT-PCR and qRT-PCR findings showed a significant decrease in PTGS2, PIK3CA, and IGF1R gene expression, except for IL6 expression, following dose-dependent treatments with IQ. Thus, we can conclude that isoquercitrin inhibits the expression of PTGS2, PIK3CA, and IGF1R gene targets, which in turn controls kidney cancer and inflammation.

These anticancer effects were abolished by 740Y-P. Grifolin regulates the PI3K/AKT pathway, thus inhibiting lung cancer progression.

Decreases of αSMA deposition in the CD248 knockout KPC mice remodel the tissue stroma and downregulated TOP2A expression in the epithelium. In summary, stromal stiffness induces the onset of cells-of-origin of cancer by ectopic TOP2A expression, and the genomic amplification of MYC-PTK2 locus via alternative transdifferentiation of pancreatic progenitor cells is the vulnerability useful for disintegrin KG treatment against cells-of-origin cancer.

Pathway analysis revealed that PPARG may interact with the PTEN-PI3K/AKT signaling pathway, playing a crucial role in regulating chemosensitivity in the normal tissue microenvironment. Our results suggest that AKT1 and PIK3CA may be associated with chemosensitivity in HSCC tumor cells, while PPARG and PTEN might exhibit a correlation with a specific segment of the PI3K/AKT pathway, potentially influencing chemosensitivity in the normal tissue microenvironment of HSCC patients.

The PDIS can be used as an effective prognostic model for predicting immunotherapy response to guide clinical decision-making.

CD133 can regulate the PI3K/Akt and MAPK pathways and modulate the clonogenicity, apoptosis, and cell cycle of GBM. Combining CD133 silencing with temozolomide treatment considerably increases apoptosis, arrests the cell cycle at the sub-G1, and suppresses migration of U87MG cells compared to temozolomide monotherapy.

Analysis of progression-free survival (PFS) after the first line of treatment with immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) in 30 pts with stage IV KRAS-mutated NSCLC and high PD-L1 showed a trend favoring patients presenting a co-mutation (mPFS 13.7mo KRAS co-mutated vs. 3.6mo in KRAS only; HR 0.26; CI 95% 0.09-0.070; p=0.19). Conclusions These findings emphasize the importance of further exploring PD-L1 role in KRAS mutated patients, especially by taking into account accompanying mutations in other genes evaluated by NGS.

Our results identified that the PIK3CA hyperactivation in dMMR CRC upregulated COX-2 through MEK signaling, which inhibited CD8+ T cells infiltration and promoted tumor growth, together led to immunotherapy resistance. COX-2 or MEK inhibition may relieve therapy resistance and promote therapy efficacy of anti-PD-1/PD-L1 immunotherapy for treating dMMR CRC with PIK3CA overexpression or activating mutation.

The mutated SNP sites in patients with DR were mainly enriched in PI3K/AKT, calcium ion, and glutamatergic synaptic and cholinergic synaptic signaling pathways. The rs17849079 allele of PIK3CA is prone to C/T mutation where the C allele increases the risk of DR. High glucose activates the expression of PIK3CA and promotes the phosphorylation of PI3K, which leads to the phosphorylation of AKT and mTOR. These effects consequently increase VEGF expression and accelerate the development of DR. The C to T allele mutation in PIK3CA.rs17849079 can play a protective role and reduce the risk of DR.

Collectively, these results indicate an immune system function that may contribute to tumor survival. Our data induced a hypothesis that ARID1A and PIK3CA mutations' co-occurrence might predict responses to immunotherapy in luminal BC and, if validated, could guide immunotherapy development.

The AKT1 expression down-regulated while PIK3CA expression was increased in both cell lines. Our findings indicate that LEO has the ability to induce apoptosis by modulating the expression of PI3K-AKT signaling pathway in these cell lines.

KRAS wild-type patient resistance may be related to PIK3CA gene mutations, although this needs further verification in larger cohorts. BRAF mutations may be associated with RNF215 expression in patients with CRC.

While multiallelic rs121913273 and rs121913279 showed a different trend for the studied population. For expressional analysis, PI3K showed over-expression in the cases while PIK3CA gene expression was observed to be significantly associated with pre-menopausal status.

Patients with low sTILs had a significantly worse overall survival (multivariate: HR 2.80; 95% CI 1.36-5.78; p = .02). Patients with low sTILs had a significantly poorer survival, despite adequate treatment with adjuvant therapy.

We successfully established a workflow for parallel isolation of multiple liquid biopsy analytes from a minimized blood volume in HER2+ mBC. Preliminary mRNA profile results for CTCs and EVs show the complementary nature of these two liquid biopsy analytes. Besides the multi-analyte nature of this workflow, the pending results for genomic and epigenomic information will show which one of the analytes, alone or in combination, will help to optimize therapy management in HER2+ mBC patients.

Patients with ER+/HER2- advanced or mBC who previously had 1-2 lines of endocrine therapy, and prior CDK4/6i, were randomized 1:1 to receive elacestrant or SOC (aromatase inhibitor or fulvestrant). Elacestrant showed significantly greater PFS when prior treatment duration with CDK4/6i was at least 12 months, suggesting prior exposure to CDK4/6i is a surrogate marker for endocrine sensitivity. In this population, elacestrant demonstrated superior efficacy, compared to SOC, even in patients with concomitant PIK3CA or TP53 mutations, expression of HER2 low, or presence of liver and/or lung metastases. These results suggest an active ER-driven pathway for this group despite the presence of other resistance mechanisms, where single-agent oral elacestrant could be an attractive option compared to combination therapies or intravenous HER2 low-targeted ADCs.

Parallel analysis of 47 iCCA samples with the Illumina TruSight Tumor 170 kit confirmed good performance of our NGS panel. In conclusion, targeted RNA sequencing coupled with the 3' RACE technology is an efficient tool for the molecular diagnostics of BTCs.

For example, activated Akt1 expression in ECs excessively stimulates lumen formation, decreases EC sprouting behavior, and show minimal pericyte recruitment with reduced mRNA expression of PDGF-BB, PDGF-DD, and endothelin-1; critical EC-derived factors known to stimulate pericyte invasion. We identify key signals controlling fundamental steps in capillary morphogenesis and maturation and, provide mechanistic details on why EC activating mutations induce a capillary deficiency state with abnormal lumens, impaired pericyte recruitment and basement deposition: predisposing stimuli for the development of vascular malformations.

Here, we report a case that continuous pembrolizumab monotherapy treatment induced complete remission of a recurrent cervical cancer patient with systemic metastasis and PIK3CA-E545K mutation, implying that PIK3CA mutation is potentially a biomarker for pembrolizumab treatment in cervical cancer...PIK3CA mutations may predict the response of cervical cancer to PD-1 blockade. The efficacy of PI3Kα inhibitors combined with PD-1 antibodies is promising in cervical cancer and warrants additional clinical and mechanistic investigations.

In this analysis, we show that GDC NSMP (ER low) tumors nearly all harbor a mutation in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. Further we demonstrate that the most common gene mutation in the cohort, PIK3CA, is counterintuitively a marker of improved survival. Additionally, we show that within that this subpopulation, PIK3CA WT patients exhibit robustly upregulated gene expression programs dedicated to energy production, cell cycling, and division.

Therefore, we can conclude that increased mRNA levels of CYP24A1, AHR, CPEB4, TRIP13, and PIK3CA in blood samples withdrawn from colorectal cancer patients could be a biomarker for the disease.

However, only the multiplexed assessment revealed further complexities as stabilized p53 expression attenuates NF-κB transcriptional activity and thereby indirectly influences its regulation on the PIK3CA gene. Thus, this study suggests the importance of live cell multiplexed measurement of gene regulatory function using more than two luciferases to address more realistic situations in disease biology.

Among hormone receptor-positive tumors, HER2-low tumors show less loss/deletion in 17q peaks than HER2-0 tumors. In this work, we reveal the heterogeneity of HER2-low breast cancers and emphasize the need for more precise stratification regarding hormone receptor status and molecular subtype.

In this analysis, we show that GDC NSMP (ER low) tumors nearly all harbor a mutation in the PI3K-AKT-mTOR signaling pathway. Further we demonstrate that the most common gene mutation in the cohort, PIK3CA, is counterintuitively a marker of improved survival. Additionally, we show that within that this subpopulation, PIK3CA WT patients exhibit robustly upregulated gene expression programs dedicated to energy production, cell cycling, and division.

In conclusion, the lack of SATB2 and CDX2 expression in CRC was associated with MMR protein deficiency and BRAF mutation, but not with KRAS, NRAS and PIK3CA mutation. SATB2 and CDX2 are prognostic biomarkers in patients with CRC.

Furthermore, ssGSEA analysis of invasive human tumors showed those with mutant PIK3CA do not exhibit significantly increased PI3K/AKT pathway activity compared to wildtype PIK3CA tumors. Overall, these data suggest that Pik3ca can elicit early tumorigenic changes in the urothelium, but progression to invasion may require additional genetic alterations.

Here, we report a case that continuous pembrolizumab monotherapy treatment induced a complete remission of a recurrent cervical cancer patient with systemic metastasis and PIK3CA-E545K mutation, implying that PIK3CA mutation is potentially a biomarker for pembrolizumab treatment in cervical cancer...PI3Kα-specific inhibitors markedly activate immune microenvironment by regulating the PD-1/L1-related pathways and promotes CD8+ T cell differentiation, proliferation in Caski-CDXs with PIK3CA-E545K mutation. PI3Kα inhibitor significantly enhances the anti-tumor efficacy of PD-1 blockade in CDXs and PDXs.Conclusion The efficacy of PI3K inhibitors combined with PD-1 antibodies is promising in cervical cancer and warrants additional clinical investigations.

One patient each was treated with immune checkpoint inhibition (Mixed Response) and combination therapies of tipifarnib and ADT (SD) and alpelisib and ADT (PR). Combination therapies, PI3K-inhibitors and immune therapy warrant further investigation, ideally in clinical trials. Future research should consider this rare subgroup of SDC.

PIK3CA mutations are associated with resistance to NAC but do not affect the response to NAE. Low PTEN expression does not affect response to either NAC or NAE but correlates with shorter RFS in patients who received NAC. These biomarkers will be further evaluated for clinical use to treat postmenopausal luminal breast cancer patients.

RAB7A may serve as a potential tumor prognostic and immune infiltration-related biomarker, predicting immunotherapy efficacy in certain cancer types, especially in HCC. Besides, RAB7A was a multi-pathway target involved in the malignant progression of HCC.

Importantly, we found that loss of VEPH1 expression rendered ES2 cells less sensitive to BRAF and MEK inhibition. This study extends the range of adaptor function of VEPH1 to ERBB2, and indicates VEPH1 has differential effects on EGF signaling in ovarian cancer cells that may be influenced by driver gene mutations.

The p110α expression was downregulated or not affected in PIK3CA-mutated cell lines, and not significantly upregulated in PIK3CA wild-type cell lines. In conclusion, combination of low-dose metronomic VRL and alpelisib showed synergistic anti-tumor effects and significantly inhibited the growth of HR-positive, HER2-negative, PIK3CA-mutated BC cells, providing a rationale for further efforts to evaluate this combination in vivo.

Moreover, overexpression of KAT7, but not KAT7 acetyltransferase activity-deficient mutants promoted AKT phosphorylation at the Ser473 site, PIK3CA expression and radioresistance suppression due to KAT7 inhibition. In conclusion, KAT7 has huge prospects for clinical application as a new target for predicting radioresistance in breast cancer patients.

However, intriguingly, ResolveOME™ uncovered cells of stem-like identity harboring PIK3CA missense mutations as well as uncovered cells still formally identified as epithelial and harboring mutant PIK3CA but with differential expression profiles—indicative of cells morphing cell state. Finally, the TotalSeq™ antibody panel unveiled intercellular heterogeneity and interpatient heterogeneity both in cell-surface protein phenotype of immune cells and in epithelial identity and signaling.This ongoing study continues to catalog the three omic layers in increasing numbers of single cells and significantly expanding targeted surface-protein analysis harnessing the power of the single-cell united data to determine the “penetrance” of genomic changes in the context of cognate transcript and protein information, with the ultimate goals of defining DCIS to IDC transition factors as well as novel biomarker identification that may be exploited therapeutically.

UC with PIK3CA missense mutation exhibits a higher immunogenicity through enhancing MHC class I and B2M expression. PIK3CA missense mutation is a potential predictive marker for ICI response in UC.
