In addition, all T-LBLs demonstrate constitutive expression of pAKT, indicating the presence of activated AKT signaling, and are sensitive to treatment with the pan-AKT inhibitor MK-2206, suggesting that these lymphomas are dependent on pAKT signaling for their survival. Lastly, ATM-deficiency itself does not cause loss of PTEN or dysregulated AKT signaling, as ATM-deficient non-malignant thymocytes express wild-type levels of PTEN and lack detectable pAKT. This study demonstrates for the first time that the majority of ATM-deficient thymic T-LBLs lose PTEN expression and all depend on AKT signaling for survival, suggesting their potential use as an animal model for PI3K/AKT/MTOR pathway dysfunction in human T-ALL.

All the above findings favoured the possibility of the tubal lesion as being independent of the endometrial primary. In conclusion, we describe an incidental B-catenin aberrant endometrioid type proliferation of the fallopian tube/E-TIN, to raise awareness of such lesions.

Demethylation treatment with 5-Aza-dC can inhibit T-ALL cell malignant biological behaviors and enhance the sensitivity to chemotherapy agents possibly, which may be related to the inhibited expressions of DNMT1, DNMT3a, MBD2, and MeCP2, and restored expression activity of PTEN to negatively regulate the PI3K/AKT signal transduction. Our silencing and restoration of PTEN expressions further support our findings, highlighting that demethylation with 5-Aza-dC to restore the anti-tumor activity of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN may be a promising therapeutic option for treating T-ALL.
STR sequence analysis showed that SCC117 cell line originated from primary tumor tissue and was not cross-contaminated by other cell lines. The human BMSCC cell line SCC117 was successfully established in China, which could provide a new experimental model for the study of oral SCC without HPV infection, especially BMSCC.
In addition, it up-regulated the protein levels of PTEN, Bax, caspase-3, and caspsae-9 and down-regulated the protein levels of p-Akt, p-PI3K, and Bcl-2. In conclusion, Bupleuri Radix-Paeoniae Radix Alba medicated plasma can inhibit the expression of miR-1297 in HepG2 hepatoma cells, promote the expression of PTEN, and negatively regulate PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, thereby inhibiting the proliferation and inducing the apoptosis of HepG2 cells.
Our results demonstrate that Erbb2 ablation reveals a significant suppression of tumorigenesis on endometrial cancer of Ptend/d mice. Our results suggest that Erbb2 functions as an oncogene in endometrial cancer of Ptend/d mice implying that Erbb2 targeting can be used as an effective therapeutic approach for treatment of endometrial cancer with PTEN deficiency to hinder cancer development.
Next-generation sequence analyses for 2 cases with tumours containing SCC(c) demonstrated that PTEN gene mutation increased progressively from IC(c) to NST(c) to SCC(c). In conclusion, the immunohistochemical and molecular profiles of the SCC(c) of MBC are distinct from those of the SpCC(c).

PTEN acts as a double-edged sword that differentially regulates EGFRL858R-induced lung cancer progression in different genomic backgrounds. Understanding the PTEN in lung cancer with different genetic backgrounds will be beneficial for therapy in the future.

In breast cancer the status/expression of PTEN & AKT at mRNA and protein level might be obliging in forecasting the path of disease progression, treatment and prognosis.
In summary, our results indicate that PTEN IHC staining is present in majority of ECs with four common dominant-negative PTEN mutations (retained or less commonly reduced). While recent literature suggests complementary use of PTEN IHC and sequencing to assess PTEN status in EC, these results further highlight that IHC may not be helpful in assessment of PTEN abnormality in cases with dominant-negative PTEN mutations.

Importantly, interference with PTEN expression affects SHMT2 function by promoting AKT signaling activation and PTC metastasis. Collectively, our research demonstrates that SHMT2 connects metabolic reprogramming and epigenetics, contributing to the poor progression of PTC.
