Article Abstract

Given that the PI3K/AKT pathway has manifested its compelling influence on multiple cellular process, we further review the roles of hyperactivation of PI3K/AKT pathway in various human cancers. We state the abnormalities of PI3K/AKT pathway in different cancers, which are closely related with tumorigenesis, proliferation, growth, apoptosis, invasion, metastasis, epithelial-mesenchymal transition, stem-like phenotype, immune microenvironment and drug resistance of cancer cells. In addition, we investigated the current clinical trials of inhibitors against PI3K/AKT pathway in cancers and found that the clinical efficacy of these inhibitors as monotherapy has so far been limited despite of the promising preclinical activity, which means combinations of targeted therapy may achieve better efficacies in cancers. In short, we hope to feature PI3K/AKT pathway in cancers to the clinic and bring the new promising to patients for targeted therapies.

Diabetic retinopathy (DR) is among the most prevalent complications linked to advanced diabetes. Capillary Basement membrane (CBM) thickening is an early clinical manifestation in DR, and Laminin α 1 (LAMA1) is one of the main extracellular matrix components involved in CBM formation. Dapagliflozin (DAPA) has demonstrated efficacy in ameliorating DR.

Objective: This study employs integrated network toxicology and molecular docking to investigate the molecular basis underlying 4-nonylphenol (4-NP)-mediated enhancement of breast cancer susceptibility.

Methods: We integrated data from multiple databases, including ChEMBL, STITCH, Swiss Target Prediction, GeneCards, OMIM and TTD. Core compound-disease-associated target genes were identified through Protein-Protein Interaction (PPI) network analysis.

This study aimed to evaluate the antidepressant potential of Nitazoxanide (NTZ), an antiprotozoal drug with known anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties, in a chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced mice model of depression. NTZ was administered at doses of 75, 150, and 300 mg/kg, and its effects were assessed through a series of behavioral tests, including the forced swim test, tail suspension test, actophotometer test, and social interaction test. NTZ treatment at 150 and 300 mg/kg significantly improved behavioral and biochemical outcomes, relieving depressive-like symptoms and restoring neurochemical balance.

Aurora kinase A (AURKA) is a serine/threonine kinase that plays a critical role in cell cycle regulation, particularly during mitosis. Recent studies have identified AURKA as an oncogene overexpressed in various cancers, including gastric cancer (GC). This review summarizes the molecular mechanisms by which AURKA contributes to GC pathogenesis, including its roles in cell proliferation, apoptosis inhibition, epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), and cancer stemness.
