An inhibitor of mTOR reduces neoplasia and normalizes p70/S6 kinase activity in Pten+/− mice

TL;DR: It is shown that transformed cells of PTEN+/− mice have elevated levels of phosphorylated Akt and activated p70/S6 kinase associated with an increase in proliferation and that inhibition of these proteins may be therapeutic for cancer patients with deranged PI3K signaling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Immunoproteasome deficiency is a feature of non-small cell lung cancer with a mesenchymal phenotype and is associated with a poor outcome

TL;DR: It is demonstrated for the first time to the authors' knowledge that lung cancer cells that have undergone epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition lose immunoproteasome expression, resulting in markedly reduced antigen presentation, and a strategy to overcome immune evasion through induction of the immunoproteinasome to increase the cellular repertoire of HLA class I-bound peptides is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Akt-Mediated Phosphorylation and Activation of Estrogen Receptor α Is Required for Endometrial Neoplastic Transformation in Pten+/− Mice

TL;DR: In vivo evidence is provided supporting the hypothesis that loss of Pten and subsequent Akt activation result in the activation of ERalpha-dependent pathways that play a pivotal role in the neoplastic process.
