Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta induces apoptosis and mitotic catastrophe by disrupting centrosome regulation in cancer cells

TL;DR: It is proposed that centrosome dysregulation is an important mechanism for the anticancer effects of GSK-3β inhibitors and that mitotic catastrophe serves as a safe-guard system to remove cells with any mitotic abnormalities induced by GSK -3β inhibition.
Journal ArticleDOI

Glycogen synthase kinase-3 beta inhibitors as novel cancer treatments and modulators of antitumor immune responses.

TL;DR: The regulatory role of GSK-3β in apoptosis, cell cycle, DNA repair, tumor growth, invasion, and metastasis reflects the therapeutic relevance of this target and provides the rationale for drug combinations.

MicroRNA-101 reverses temozolomide resistance by inhibition of GSK3β in glioblastoma.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that microRNA-101 (miR-101) can reverse TMZ resistance by inhibition of GSK3β in GBM, thus offer a novel and powerful strategy for GBM therapy.

Repair mechanisms help glioblastoma resist treatment

TL;DR: Insights into the DNA repair mechanisms that permit resistance to chemoradiotherapy in GBM may help improve patient responses to currently available therapies.

Glycogen Synthase Kinase 3β in Cancer Biology and Treatment

TL;DR: The evidence supporting aberrant GSK3β as a hallmark property of cancer is reviewed and the beneficial effects of G SK3β inhibition on normal cells and tissues during cancer therapy are highlighted.

Glioma stem cells promote radioresistance by preferential activation of the DNA damage response

TL;DR: This work shows that cancer stem cells contribute to glioma radioresistance through preferential activation of the DNA damage checkpoint response and an increase in DNA repair capacity, and suggests that CD133-positive tumour cells could be the source of tumour recurrence after radiation.

Phosphorylation and regulation of Akt/PKB by the rictor-mTOR complex

TL;DR: In this paper, the rictor-mTOR complex was used to identify compounds which modulate Akt activity mediated by the Rictor mTOR complex and methods for treating or preventing a disorder that is associated with aberrant Akt activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase-3 by insulin mediated by protein kinase B.

TL;DR: It is shown that agents which prevent the activation of both MAPKAP kinase-1 and p70S6k by insulin in vivo do not block the phosphorylation and inhibition of GSK3, and it is demonstrated that PKB is the product of the proto-oncogene protein kinase B (PKB, also known as Akt/RAC).

Identification of c-MYC as a Target of the APC Pathway

TL;DR: The c-MYC oncogene is identified as a target gene in this signaling pathway and shown to be repressed by wild-type APC and activated by beta-catenin, and these effects were mediated through Tcf-4 binding sites in the c- MYC promoter.
