Targeting PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling in Cancer

Camillo Porta, Chiara Paglino, Alessandra Mosca · 14 Apr 2014

The phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathways are two pathways crucial to many aspects of cell growth and survival, in physiological as well as in pathological conditions (e.g., cancer). Indeed, they are so interconnected that, in a certain sense, they could be regarded as a single, unique pathway. In this…

Anti-PD-1 and Anti-CTLA-4 Therapies in Cancer: Mechanisms of Action, Efficacy, and Limitations

Judith A. Seidel, Atsushi Otsuka, Kenji Kabashima · 28 Mar 2018

Melanoma, a skin cancer associated with high mortality rates, is highly radio- and chemotherapy resistant but can also be very immunogenic. These circumstances have led to a recent surge in research into therapies aiming to boost anti-tumor immune responses in cancer patients. Among these immunotherapies, neutralizing antibodies targeting the immune checkpoints T-lymphocyte-associated protein 4 (CTLA-4)…

Role of Matrix Metalloproteinases in Angiogenesis and Cancer

Saray Quintero-Fabián, Rodrigo Arreola, Enrique Becerril‐Villanueva et al. · 6 Dec 2019

During angiogenesis, new vessels emerge from existing endothelial lined vessels to promote the degradation of the vascular basement membrane and remodel the extracellular matrix (ECM), followed by endothelial cell migration, and proliferation and the new generation of matrix components. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) participate in the disruption, tumor neovascularization, and subsequent metastasis while tissue inhibitors of…

Lactate in the Regulation of Tumor Microenvironment and Therapeutic Approaches

Karen Griselda de la Cruz-López, Leonardo Josué Castro-Muñoz, Diego O. Reyes-Hernández et al. · 1 Nov 2019

Tumor cells must generate sufficient ATP and biosynthetic precursors in order to maintain cell proliferation requirements. Otto Warburg showed that tumor cells uptake high amounts of glucose producing large volumes of lactate even in the presence of oxygen, this process is known as "Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis." As a consequence of such amounts of…
