We recently identified activated protein kinase B (PKB/AKT) as a tumorigenic driver in childhood ganglioneuroma. Inhibition of the mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase downstream of AKT, effectively reduced the tumor burden in zebrafish with ganglioneuroma. We propose a clinical trial of mTOR inhibitors as a means to shrink large ganglioneuromas prior to surgical resection.
我们最近确定活化蛋白激酶B(PKB/AKT)是儿童神经节神经瘤的致瘤驱动因素。雷帕霉素作用靶点(mTOR)是AKT下游的一种丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶,抑制该激酶可有效减轻患有神经节神经瘤的斑马鱼的肿瘤负担。我们提议开展一项关于mTOR抑制剂的临床试验,作为在手术切除前缩小大型神经节神经瘤的一种方法。
