Predominance of mTORC1 over mTORC2 in the Regulation of Proliferation of Ovarian Cancer Cells: Therapeutic Implications
10 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
mTOR is a serine/threonine kinase that acts by binding different sets of proteins forming two complexes, termed mTORC1 and mTORC2. mTOR is deregulated in a substantial proportion of ovarian tumors. Despite the use of drugs directed to mTOR in ongoing clinical trials, the functional relevance of the individual mTORC branches in ovarian cancer is not known. Here, we show that mTORC1 and mTORC2 were constitutively...
