Akt inhibitors in cancer treatment: The long journey from drug discovery to clinical use (Review)

TL;DR: The pipeline of Akt inhibitors and their preclinical and clinical examination status are explored, presenting the potential clinical application of these agents as a monotherapy or in combination with ionizing radiation, other targeted therapies, or chemotherapy.
Journal ArticleDOI

PI3K-AKT-mTOR inhibition in cancer immunotherapy, redux.

TL;DR: This review discusses how PI3K-AKT-mTOR inhibitors target cancer cell biology, attenuate immune cell effector function and modulate the tumor microenvironment, and how the immunomodulatory potential of these inhibitors can be exploited through rational combinations with immunotherapies and targeted therapies.

5-Fluorouracil resistance mechanisms in colorectal cancer: From classical pathways to promising processes

TL;DR: A global outline of different mechanisms from disruption of 5‐FU‐metabolic enzymes and classic cellular processes to drug transporters and epithelial‐mesenchymal transition induction is constructed, directed to tumor microenvironment function as well as epigenetic alterations and miRNA dysregulation.

Signaling Specificity in the Akt Pathway in Biology and Disease

TL;DR: This work summarizes the view of how Akt selectivity is achieved in the context of subcellular localization, isoform-specific substrate phosphorylation and context-dependent functions in normal and pathophysiological settings.

PD-L1 promotes OCT4 and Nanog expression in breast cancer stem cells by sustaining PI3K/AKT pathway activation.

TL;DR: A novel role for PD‐L1 in sustaining stemness of breast cancer cells is demonstrated and the subpopulation and its associated molecular pathways that would be targeted upon anti‐PD‐ L1 therapy are identified.

Akt Promotes Cell Survival by Phosphorylating and Inhibiting a Forkhead Transcription Factor

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that Akt also regulates the activity of FKHRL1, a member of the Forkhead family of transcription factors, which triggers apoptosis most likely by inducing the expression of genes that are critical for cell death, such as the Fas ligand gene.

Akt Phosphorylation of BAD Couples Survival Signals to the Cell-Intrinsic Death Machinery

TL;DR: It is shown that growth factor activation of the PI3'K/Akt signaling pathway culminates in the phosphorylation of the BCL-2 family member BAD, thereby suppressing apoptosis and promoting cell survival.

AKT/PKB signaling: navigating downstream.

TL;DR: Those Akt substrates that are most likely to contribute to the diverse cellular roles of Akt, which include cell survival, growth, proliferation, angiogenesis, metabolism, and migration are discussed.

mTOR: from growth signal integration to cancer, diabetes and ageing

TL;DR: Mammalian TOR complex 1 (mTORC1) and mTORC2 exert their actions by regulating other important kinases, such as S6 kinase (S6K) and Akt.

Glycogen synthase kinase-3β regulates cyclin D1 proteolysis and subcellular localization

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that glycogen synthase kinase-3beta (GSK-3 beta) phosphorylates cyclin D1 specifically on Thr-286, thereby triggering rapid cyclinD1 turnover, which leads to proteasomal degradation of D1 and linked to phosphorylation and proteolytic turnover of cyclin L1 and its subcellular localization during the cell division cycle.
