Inhibition of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin by Rapamycin Causes the Regression of Carcinogen-Induced Skin Tumor Lesions
10 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: The activation of Akt/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway represents a frequent event in squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) progression, thus raising the possibility of using specific mTOR inhibitors for the treatment of SCC patients. In this regard, blockade of mTOR with rapamycin prevents the growth of human head and neck SCC cells when xenotransplanted into immunodeficient mice. However,...
