Dysregulation of PI3K-AKT-mTOR pathway has been reported in various pathologies, such as cancer and insulin resistance. The proline-rich AKT substrate of 40-kDa (PRAS40), also known as AKT substrate 1 (AKT1S1), lies at the crossroads of these cascades and inhibits the activity of the mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1) kinase. This review discusses the role of PRAS40 and possible feedback mechanisms, and alterations in AKT/PRAS40/mTOR signaling that have been implicated in the pathogenesis of tumor progression. Additionally, we probed new datasets extracted from Oncomine, a cancer microarray database containing datasets derived from patient samples, to further understand the role of PRAS40 (AKT1S1). These data strongly supports the hypothesis that PRAS40 may serve as a potential therapeutic target for various cancers.
PI3K-AKT-mTOR信号通路的失调在多种病理状况中都有报道,如癌症和胰岛素抵抗。富含脯氨酸的40 kDa AKT底物(PRAS40),也被称为AKT底物1(AKT1S1),处于这些级联反应的交汇点,并抑制mTOR复合物1(mTORC1)激酶的活性。本综述讨论了PRAS40的作用和可能的反馈机制,以及AKT/PRAS40/mTOR信号传导的改变,这些改变与肿瘤进展的发病机制有关。此外,我们探究了从Oncomine(一个包含来自患者样本数据集的癌症微阵列数据库)中提取的新数据集,以进一步了解PRAS40(AKT1S1)的作用。这些数据有力地支持了PRAS40可能作为各种癌症潜在治疗靶点的假说。
