[HTML][HTML] PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling transduction pathway and targeted therapies in cancer

…, V Cavalieri, KH Lin, NR Javidi-Sharifi, E Toska… - Molecular cancer, 2023 - Springer
The PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) signaling pathway is a highly conserved signal transduction
network in eukaryotic cells that promotes cell survival, cell growth, and cell cycle progression. …

The present and future of PI3K inhibitors for cancer therapy

P Castel, E Toska, JA Engelman, M Scaltriti - Nature cancer, 2021 - nature.com
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling regulates cellular proliferation, survival and
metabolism, and its aberrant activation is one of the most frequent oncogenic events across …

[HTML][HTML] Overview of the relevance of PI3K pathway in HR-positive breast cancer

N Vasan, E Toska, M Scaltriti - Annals of oncology, 2019 - Elsevier
One of the hallmarks of hormone receptor (HR)-positive breast cancer is its dependence on
the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway. Here, we review the epidemiologic, …

PI3K inhibition results in enhanced estrogen receptor function and dependence in hormone receptor–positive breast cancer

Activating mutations of PIK3CA are the most frequent genomic alterations in estrogen
receptor (ER)–positive breast tumors, and selective phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase α (PI3Kα) …

Double PIK3CA mutations in cis increase oncogenicity and sensitivity to PI3Kα inhibitors

…, A Antoine, E Ladewig, A Gorelick, TY Lin, E Toska… - Science, 2019 - science.org
Activating mutations in PIK3CA are frequent in human breast cancer, and phosphoinositide
3-kinase alpha (PI3Kα) inhibitors have been approved for therapy. To characterize …

PI3K pathway regulates ER-dependent transcription in breast cancer through the epigenetic regulator KMT2D

E Toska, HU Osmanbeyoglu, P Castel, C Chan… - Science, 2017 - science.org
Toska et al. found that PI3K inhibition activates a specific epigenetic regulator, the histone

PIK3CA, which encodes the p110α subunit of PI3K, is frequently mutated and oncogenic in
breast cancer. PI3Kα inhibitors are in clinical development and despite promising early …

Cell-autonomous Cxcl1 sustains tolerogenic circuitries and stromal inflammation via neutrophil-derived TNF in pancreatic cancer

…, R Brambilla, K Komanduri, AV Villarino, E Toska… - Cancer discovery, 2023 - AACR
By decoding connections between high-risk tumor genotypes, cell-autonomous inflammatory
programs, and myeloid-enriched/T cell–excluded contexts, we identify a novel role for …
