Overexpression of S6 Kinase 1 in Brain Tumours Is Associated with Induction of Hypoxia-Responsive Genes and Predicts Patients' Survival
1 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
mTOR/S6K pathway is a crucial regulator of cell growth and metabolism. Deregulated signalling via S6K has been linked to various human pathologies, including metabolic disorders and cancer. Many of the molecules signalling upstream of S6K have been shown to be either mutated or overexpressed in tumours, leading to S6K activation. The role of S6K1 in brain tumours is not fully investigated. In this study, we...
