PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling transduction pathway and targeted therapies in cancer
Open accessAbstract
The PI3K/AKT/mTOR (PAM) signaling pathway is a highly conserved signal transduction network in eukaryotic cells that promotes cell survival, cell growth, and cell cycle progression. Growth factor signalling to transcription factors in the PAM axis is highly regulated by multiple cross-interactions with several other signaling pathways, and dysregulation of signal transduction can predispose to cancer development. The PAM axis is the most frequently activated signaling pathway in human cancer and is often implicated in resistance to anticancer therapies. Dysfunction of components of this pathway such as hyperactivity of PI3K, loss of function of PTEN, and gain-of-function of AKT, are notorious drivers of treatment resistance and disease progression in cancer. In this review we highlight the major dysregulations in the PAM signaling pathway in cancer, and discuss the results of PI3K, AKT and mTOR inhibitors as monotherapy and in co-administation with other antineoplastic agents in clinical trials as a strategy for overcoming treatment resistance. Finally, the major mechanisms of resistance to PAM signaling targeted therapies, including PAM signaling in immunology and immunotherapies are also discussed.

Inhibition of the PI3K/AKT pathway may be a potential therapeutic for MM.
“Thus, inhibition the PI3K/AKT pathway may be a potential therapeutic for the treatment of MM [73].”
From Multiple myeloma: signaling pathways and targeted therapy (2024) · cites this paper as [73]
The Conclusion describes PI3K inhibition as a target for antitumor therapy and AKT inhibition as potentially antineoplastic. It does not make that therapeutic claim specifically for MM; the passage mentioning multiple myeloma cells in the Resistance section concerns a response to an mTOR inhibitor, not the proposed PI3K/AKT treatment.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
