Elucidation of the Role of the Epigenetic Regulatory Mechanisms of PI3K/Akt/mTOR Signaling Pathway in Human Malignancies

Abstract: The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway modulates cell growth, proliferation, metabolism, and movement. Moreover, significant studies have shown that the genes involved in this pathway are frequently activated in human cancer. Observational and computational modeling of the PI3K/AKt/ mTOR pathway inhibitors has been explored in clinical trials. It has been observed that the effectiveness and safety evidence from clinical studies and various inhibitors of this route have been given FDA approval. In this review article, we focused on the processes behind the overactivation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling in cancer and provided an overview of PI3K/Akt/mTOR inhibitors as either individual drugs or a combination of different doses of drugs for different types of cancer. Furthermore, the review discusses the biological function and activation of the PI3K/AKt/mTOR signaling and their role in the development of cancers. Additionally, we discussed the potential challenges and corresponding prediction biomarkers of response and resistance for PI3K/Akt/m- TOR inhibitor development. The article focuses on the most current breakthroughs in using the PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway to target certain molecules.
