Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We sought to determine whether phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway mutation or activation state and rapamycin-induced feedback loop activation of Akt is associated with rapamycin sensitivity or resistance. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Cancer cell lines were tested for rapamycin sensitivity, Akt phosphorylation, and mTOR target inhibition. Mice injected with breast or neuroendocrine cancer cells and patients...
