PG - 5849-5858 AB - Clinical trials are in progress on AZD5363, an inhibitor of protein kinase B (AKT), to assess its effects on the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway. Cells treated with AKT inhibitors have been reported to activate alternative pathways in order to escape growth inhibition. AZD5363-sensitized Hs578T breast cancer cells displayed reduced levels of phosphorylated glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (pGSK3beta). Interestingly, in AZD5363-treated cells, the level of phosphorylated (activated) AKT (pAKT) increased. Since pAKT positively correlates with cancer growth and survival, we aimed to identify conditions that could reduce AZD5363-induction of pAKT. We examined whether AZD5363 induction of pAKT could be reduced by co-treatment with inhibitors of the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway (LY294002, MK-2206, wortmannin, perifosine, rapamycin, everolimus, and temsirolimus). We observed that co-treatment of LY294002 or MK-2206 with AZD5363 reduced the level of pAKT. Since MK-2206 is clinically used, we propose that co-treatment using MK-2206 with AZD5363 would prove beneficial in blocking the AZD5363-induced pAKT signaling pathway. Our findings contribute to the development of AZD5363-based sensitization therapies for patients with cancer. CI - Copyright(c) 2016 International Institute of Anticancer Research (Dr. John G.
