Abstract excerpt
Deregulation of the PI3K-AKT/mTOR pathway due to mutation of the tumor suppressor gene PTEN frequently occurs in human prostate cancer and is therefore considered to be an attractive therapeutic target. Here, we investigated how the PTEN genotype affected the antitumor effect of NVP-BEZ235 in human prostate cancer cells. In this setting, NVP-BEZ235 induced cell death in a PTEN-independent manner. NVP-BEZ235...
