Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway inhibitors have emerged as promising therapeutic agents for estrogen receptor (ERα)-positive breast cancers. However, incipient resistance limits the clinical benefit. Toska and colleagues identified that the epigenetic regulator KMT2D enhances ERα activity in BYL719-treated PIK3CA mutant breast cancer, leading to a rationale for targeting the epigenome and PI3K signaling.
磷酸肌醇 3-激酶 (PI3K) 通路抑制剂已成为治疗雌激素受体 (ERα) 阳性乳腺癌的有前途的治疗剂。然而,初步的耐药性限制了临床获益。Toska 及其同事发现,表观遗传调节剂 KMT2D 增强了 BYL719 处理的 PIK3CA 突变型乳腺癌中的 ERα 活性,为靶向表观基因组和 PI3K 信号提供了依据。
