PIK3CA mutation

The LAR subtype was characterized by a high rate of PIK3CA mutation, CD274 (encodes PD-L1) and PDCD1LG2 (encodes PD-L2) deletion, and a low homologous recombination deficiency (HRD) score. The non-LAR LD TIL group was characterized by a high frequency of NOTCH2 and MYC amplification and a high HRD score.

Finally, we show the feasibility of predicting compositive mutations based on their co-mutations (AUC 0.62, 0.81, 0.82, and 0.91 for EGFR, PIK3CA, KRAS, and BRAF, respectively). This prediction model could help to stratify patients who are at risk of developing therapy resistance-causing mutations.

Common non-hematological toxicity occurred in abemaciclib group was diarrhea (27.4%), and were increased aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (26.3%), nausea (25.0%), vomiting (11.8%) and hypokalemia (13.2%) in tucidinostat group. Our study suggests superiority of abemaciclib-based therapy over tucidinostat-based therapy in patients progressed on palbociclib, which merits further assessment in larger and prospective trials.

This Review focuses on PIK3CA's role in mediating EC responses to FSS and discusses current understanding of PIK3CA dysregulation in a range of vascular anomalies that particularly affect low-perfused regions of the vasculature. We also discuss recent surprising findings linking increased PI3K signaling to fast-flow arteriovenous malformations in hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasias.

This study provides an integrated proteogenomic characterization of DTBC vs LumA with tumor cells enriched through laser microdissection. We identified many common features of DTBC tumors and the phosphopeptides that could serve as potential biomarkers for high/low relapse-risk basal-like BC and possibly guide treatment selections.

There is a different genomic profile according to the stage and predisposing disease. dMMR and APC mutation in localized tumour predict a better prognosis.

Long-term survival follow-up data demonstrated that camrelizumab plus apatinib has robust, sustained, and durable efficacy in patients with advanced cervical cancer who progress after first-line platinum-based chemotherapy. No new safety signals were noted with long-term treatment.

A lower prevalence of mutations in KRAS and BRAF is consistent with extended survival and superior response to targeted therapies for metastatic disease. Conversely, early-onset CRC is associated with aggressive histological subtypes and TP53 and PTEN mutations, which may serve as therapeutic targets.

Mutation profiles differed by histological type and metastases status and were significantly associated with PD-L1 expression. In the context of limited resources, our results may help prioritize patient for testing when tissue material and funding is limited.

Latin-Iberian medulloblastomas, particularly the MBSHH, exhibit higher mutation frequencies than other populations. We corroborate the TP53 mutation status as an important prognostic factor, while PIK3CA and KIT are potential therapeutic targets.

The somatic SNV/Indels of EP300 and FBXW7, SBS3 homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair defect were enriched in lymph node-positive patients. For lymph node-positive patients, EP300 or FBXW7 mutations predicted poor prognosis. No matter lymph node-positive or negative, more co-occurring mutation number predicted poor prognosis. PIK3CA mutation may account for the higher TMB and help identify patients who benefit from immunotherapy.

The MITO END-3 trial results suggest that TP53 mutation is associated with a poor effect of avelumab, while mutations of PTEN and ARID1A are related to a positive effect of the drug in patients with advanced endometrial cancer.

Activating mutations in PIK3CA are frequently found in estrogen-receptor-positive (ER+) breast cancer, and the combination of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor alpelisib with anti-ER inhibitors is approved for therapy...Together, our findings uncover a regulatory crosstalk between post-translational modifications that fine-tunes KMT2D function at the chromatin. This provides a rationale for the use of SMYD2 inhibitors in combination with PI3Kα/AKT inhibitors in the treatment of ER+/PIK3CA mutant breast cancer.

The most commonly used methodologies were next-generation sequencing and mutation-/allele-specific qualitative polymerase-chain-reaction-based assays. In summary, this recurrent PIK3CA EQA proved to be a suitable approach for quality assessment in predictive molecular biomarker testing, to obtain an international overview of methods used for PIK3CA mutation analysis and to identify the strengths and weaknesses of individual methods.

RAS mutations in gynecologic cancers have a distinct histopathologic distribution and may impact overall survival. PIK3CA, PTEN, and ARID1A are potentially actionable co-alterations. RAS pathway-targeted therapy should be considered.

Patients with mBC with higher concentrations of cfDNA or higher VAF of ctDNA had shorter survival. PIK3CA and TP53 mutation, as detected with liquid biopsy, could be used as a poor prognostic biomarker for mBC patients.

These results demonstrate that the TCR repertoire is associated with characteristics, genetic alterations, and clinical outcomes. Monitoring changes in the TCR repertoire may serve as a prognostic biomarker for breast cancer patients.

Curcumin alone led to dose-dependent responses and when combined with BYL719, positive effects were revealed, as they were when it was combined with MK-1775 or PD-0332991, suggesting a potential use of some of these combinations for HPV+ OPSCC.

Anal SCC patients undergoing salvage APR should be counseled that microscopic positive margins, positive lymph nodes, or the presence of lymphovascular invasion in the APR specimen are prognosticators for disease relapse. Our results accentuate the necessity for additional treatment strategies for the ongoing treatment challenge of persistent or recurrent anal SCC after failed CRT.

These findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the underlying causes of breast cancer with respect to menopausal status. This study is the first from Turkey that reflects the molecular subtyping and somatic mutation profiles of breast cancer patients according to menopausal status.

Future studies could aim to validate AutoEpiCollect's vaccine design in murine models affected by PIK3CA-mutated or other mutated tumor cells located in various tissue types. AutoEpiCollect streamlines the preclinical vaccine development process, saving time for thorough testing of vaccinations in experimental trials.

We conducted a migration assay, invasion assay, and MTT assay using dienogest and medroxyprogestrone acetate. Our results suggest that KRAS mutation and PIK3CA mutation in endometriotic cells may not be associated with progesterone resistance in terms of aggressiveness. However, KRAS mutations may be associated with progesterone resistance in the context of pain.

Circulating levels of the chemokine CXCL1 were elevated only in animals with tumors containing HRASG12V mutation. Since RAS pathway aberrations are found in 19% of cancers, evaluating skeletal muscle defects in the context of genomic aberrations in cancers, particularly RAS pathway mutations, may accelerate development of therapeutic modalities to overcome cancer-induced systemic effects.

We summarized the ctDNA and cancer tissue mutational landscape, including overall neoplastic burden and PIK3CA and ESR1 hotspot mutations in abemaciclib-treated patients with HR+/HER2- MBC. The data provide insights that could help optimize treatment strategies in this population.

However, combinations of copanlisib/afatinib and copanlisib/elimusertib were significantly more effective in controlling NETc tumor growth. These findings define the genetic landscape of NETc and suggest that a large subset of these highly lethal malignancies might benefit from existing targeted therapies.

Gain-of-function mutation in the phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase (PI3K) catalytic subunit alpha gene (PIK3CA) is a significant factor in head and neck cancer (HNC). Salubrinal and N-acetyl-L-cysteine attenuated celecoxib-induced mitochondrial dysfunction. Collectively, our results suggest that celecoxib and SUS efficiently suppress activating PIK3CA mutation-harboring HNC progression by inducing ER and oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction, leading to apoptotic cell death, further supporting NSAID treatment as a useful strategy for oncogenic PIK3CA-mutated HNC therapy.
