This article presents an overview of the PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. As a central regulator of cell growth, protein translation, survival, and metabolism, activation of this signaling pathway contributes to the pathogenesis of many tumor types. Biochemical and genetic aberrations of this pathway observed in various cancer types are explored. Last, pathway inhibitors both in development and already approved by the Food and Drug Administration are discussed.
本文概述了PI3K/Akt/mTOR信号通路。作为细胞生长、蛋白质翻译、存活和代谢的核心调节因子,该信号通路的激活促成了多种肿瘤类型的发病机制。文中探讨了在各种癌症类型中观察到的该通路的生化和基因异常情况。最后,还讨论了正在研发以及已获美国食品药品监督管理局批准的该通路抑制剂。
