Abstract
The human body consists of countless cells with the possibility of excessive and uncontrolled proliferation under certain dysregulated circumstances that could cause abnormal states such as cancer. Phosphatidylinositol 3 kinase (PI3K) and its downstream target, Protein kinase B or AKT, play a critical role in cell survival, proliferation, differentiation, migration, and metabolism. Research studies have examined the aberrant expression of signaling molecules that regulate PI3K/AKT pathway with the purpose of target discovery. The present review aims to recapitulate the relationship between the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway and factors contributing to initiation and development of various cancers. In addition, therapeutic interventions regulating this signaling pathway have been summarized.
期刊介绍：
Under new editorial leadership, Experimental and Molecular Pathology presents original articles on disease processes in relation to structural and biochemical alterations in mammalian tissues and fluids and on the application of newer techniques of molecular biology to problems of pathology in humans and other animals. The journal also publishes selected interpretive synthesis reviews by bench level investigators working at the "cutting edge" of contemporary research in pathology. In addition, special thematic issues present original research reports that unravel some of Nature''s most jealously guarded secrets on the pathologic basis of disease.
Research Areas include: Stem cells; Neoangiogenesis; Molecular diagnostics; Polymerase chain reaction; In situ hybridization; DNA sequencing; Cell receptors; Carcinogenesis; Pathobiology of neoplasia; Complex infectious diseases; Transplantation; Cytokines; Flow cytomeric analysis; Inflammation; Cellular injury; Immunology and hypersensitivity; Athersclerosis.
