AKT/PKB signaling mechanisms in cancer and chemoresistance

Open access
Kim, Donghwa,·2005·Frontiers in Bioscience

Abstract

During the past decade, Akt (also known as protein kinase B, PKB) has been extensively studied. It regulates a variety of cellular processes by mediating extracellular (mitogenic growth factor, insulin and stress) and intracellular (altered tyrosine receptor kinases, Ras and Src) signals. Activation of Akt by these signals is via its pleckstrin homology (PH) domain binding to products of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). This process is negatively regulated by a dual phosphatase PTEN tumor suppressor. Today, more than 30 Akt substrates have been identified. These phosphorylation events mediate the effects of Akt on cell survival, growth, differentiation, angiogenesis, migration and metabolism. Further, PI3K/PTEN/Akt pathway is frequently altered in many human malignancies and overexpression of Akt induces malignant transformation and chemoresistance. Thus, the Akt pathway is a major target for anti-cancer drug development. This review focuses on Akt signaling mechanism in oncogenesis and chemoresistance, and ongoing translational efforts to therapeutically target Akt.

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.
