AI Article Synopsis

  • The PI3K/AKT signaling pathway is crucial for cell survival and apoptosis, influencing various cellular functions.
  • It is significantly involved in tumor development, affecting processes like tumor growth, blood vessel formation, and resistance to cancer treatments.
  • Research on the PI3K/AKT pathway can help identify new drug targets and improve strategies for cancer prevention and treatment, particularly in lung cancer.

Article Abstract

PI3K/AKT signal pathway is an important intracellular signal transduction pathway. It plays important roles in cell apoptosis and survival by affecting the activity of downstream effector molecules, and it is closely associated with the development and progression of human tumors. Recent researches of PI3K/AKT indicate that this pathway plays important roles in tumor cells proliferation, blood vessel neogenesis, tumor metastasis and resistance to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The profound research of PI3K/AKT is beneficial to the prevention of tumor and to the finding of potential targets for new drugs. This article reviewed the composition, function and regulation of PI3K/AKT signal pathway, and its effect in metastasis and drug resistance of lung cancer.

The widespread application of genome editing to treat and cure disease requires the delivery of genome editors into the nucleus of target cells. Enveloped delivery vehicles (EDVs) are engineered virally derived particles capable of packaging and delivering CRISPR-Cas9 ribonucleoproteins (RNPs). However, the presence of lentiviral genome encapsulation and replication proteins in EDVs has obscured the underlying delivery mechanism and precluded particle optimization.

Refractory small cell lung cancer with pancreatic metastasis: A case report.

Medicine (Baltimore)

January 2025

Department of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolia Medical University, Inner Mongolia, Hohhot, China.

Rationale: The occurrence of refractory small cell lung cancer (rSCLC) with pancreatic metastasis is a relatively rare clinical condition, which is typically accompanied by a poor prognosis and rapid disease progression.

Patient Concerns: A 65-year-old male farmer from China was diagnosed with limited-stage small cell lung cancer (SCLC) 8 months ago. Following 6 cycles of EP chemotherapy, the patient's tumor response showed partial relief.

Based on network pharmacology and molecular docking methods, this study explored its active compounds and confirmed its potential mechanism of action against Hand-foot skin reaction induced by tumor-targeted drugs. Traditional Chinese Medicine Systems Pharmacology Database and Analysis Platform and UniProt Database were used to obtain the active ingredients and target proteins of Spatholobi Caulis. All hand-foot skin reaction (HFSR)-related targets were obtained with the help of the Human Gene Database, Online Mendelian Inheritance in Humans (OMIM), DisGeNET and DrugBank databases.

Rationale: Synovial sarcoma (SS) is a rare and highly malignant soft tissue sarcoma. When SS occurs in atypical locations, it can present significant diagnostic challenges. We report a case of paraspinal SS initially misdiagnosed as spinal tuberculosis, highlighting the diagnostic difficulties and the importance of considering SS in the differential diagnosis.
