PIK3CA (Phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha)

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.

Unfortunately, only a few studies have been carried out on the role of copy number variations according to the molecular classification of endometrial cancer, and even fewer have explored the correlation with drugs. For these reasons, further studies, also using single cell RNA sequencing, are needed before reaching a clinical application.

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.

Furthermore, the study explores how TYTW's metabolites (agrimoniin, baicalin, corosolic acid, and luteolin) interact with molecular targets like AKT1, CASP3, ESR1, IL6, PIK3CA, and PTGS2, and their subsequent impact on these critical pathways and biological processes. Therefore, this study represents preliminary research on the anticancer molecular mechanism of TYTW by performing network pharmacology and providing theoretical evidence for further experimental investigations.

Additionally, we have unveiled patterns in protein-protein interactions and key hub genes/proteins including TP53, KRAS, CTNNB1 and PIK3CA, which may elucidate the co-occurrence of digestive cancers with certain diseases. These findings provide valuable insights into the molecular origins of comorbidity, offering potential avenues for patient stratification and the development of targeted therapies in clinical trials.

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.

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.

There is a strong close relationship between the ICD- high subgroup and the immune microenvironment. Immunogenicity-related genes have the potential to be a prognostic biomarker for AML.

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.

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.

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.

In summary, bulleyaconitine A may inhibit RA bone destruction by regulating the Src/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. This study provides experimental support for the treatment of RA bone destruction with bulleyaconitine A and lays a foundation for the clinical application of bulleyaconitine A.

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.

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.

Moreover, the p110α C2 domain binds PI3-phosphate, and this interaction is also required to recruit p110α to endosomes and for PI3K/Akt signaling. Stable knockdown of p85α, which mimics the reduced p85α levels observed in cancer, enhances cell growth and tumorsphere formation, and these effects are abrogated by MAP4 or p85β knockdown, underscoring their role in the tumor-promoting activity of p85α loss.

Together, this approach offers a potential treatment strategy for patients with EGFRm-driven NSCLC that have a sub-optimal response, or develop resistance, to osimertinib through PIK3CA/AKT/PTEN alterations.

Eight drugs have been approved by the FDA for HNC, including both generic and commercial forms: bleomycin sulfate, cetuximab (Erbitux), docetaxel (Taxotere), hydroxyurea (Hydrea), pembrolizumab (Keytruda), loqtorzi (Toripalimab-tpzi), methotrexate sodium (Trexall), and nivolumab (Opdivo). The most common drugs to treat HPV-associated OPC under these clinical trials and implemented as well for HPV-negative HNC include cisplatin, nivolumab, cetuximab, paclitaxel, pembrolizumab, 5-fluorouracil, and docetaxel...In this context, we identified most mutated genes found in HPV-associated OPC that can represent potential targets for drug development. These include TP53, PIK3CA, PTEN, NOTCH1, RB1, FAT1, FBXW7, HRAS, KRAS, and CDKN2A.

We explored the mechanisms of resistance by analyzing postprogression biopsies, as well as cross-resistance to amivantamab. Potential mechanisms of resistance to mobocertinib included amplifications in MET, PIK3CA, and NRAS. Mobocertinib demonstrated meaningful efficacy in a real-world setting but was associated with considerable gastrointestinal and cutaneous toxicity.

Finally, we used a cell cycle assay to show significant G0/G1 arrest by transfecting miR-124-3p in LNCaP and miR-16-5p in both cell lines. Our findings suggest that this novel approach may have therapeutic benefits and these predicted microRNAs could effectively target the candidate genes.
