The mutational profiles and corresponding therapeutic implications of PI3K mutations in cancer.

Abstract excerpt

Genetic alterations of the PIK3CA gene, encoding the p110α catalytic subunit of PI3Kα enzyme, are found in a broad spectrum of human cancers. Many cancer-associated PIK3CA mutations occur at 3 hotspot locations and are termed canonical mutations. Canonical mutations result in hyperactivation of PI3K and promote oncogenesis via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR and PI3K/COX-2/PGE2 signaling pathways. These mutations also may...
