Title Frequent PTEN loss and differential HER2/PI3K signaling pathway alterations in salivary duct carcinoma: Implications for targeted therapy.
URL
Abstract Text Patients with advanced primary and recurrent salivary duct carcinoma (SDC), a rare and lethal malignancy, have limited therapeutic options. Novel small-molecule agents aimed at targeting critical signaling associated with SDC tumorigenesis may lead to new therapeutic options for patients with these tumors. The human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2)/phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) axis, an important oncogenic pathway, has been targeted for therapy in several solid tumors. Currently, little is known about the role and clinical implications of alterations of the HER2/PI3K pathway in patients with SDC.The authors investigated the clinicopathologic features, genetic alterations, and expression of key members of the HER2/PI3K pathway in 43 primary tumors and conducted in vitro functional and targeted drug-response analyses on cell lines derived from salivary epithelial carcinomas.In primary tumors, loss of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) expression was identified in 22 of 43 tumors (51%), overexpression of HER2 was observed in 12 of 43 tumors (28%), and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase catalytic subunit alpha (PIK3CA) mutations were identified in 12 of 43 tumors (28%). Phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT) was highly expressed in most tumors. Most tumors (70%) displayed mutually exclusive alterations of PI3K members, whereas 8 tumors (19%) had 2 or more concurrent abnormalities. In vitro studies demonstrated a direct association between PTEN loss and PI3K pathway activation and evidence of response to combined PI3Kα and PI3Kβ and/or pan-PI3K inhibitors.The current analyses reveal frequent PTEN loss and mutually exclusive alterations of key PI3K pathway members in SDC and demonstrate in vitro evidence of a response to pan-PI3K inhibitors. These results provide a framework for a biomarker-based substratification of patients with SDC in future targeted therapy. Cancer 2018;124:3523-32. © 2018 American Cancer Society.

Filtering

  • Case insensitive filtering will display rows if any text in any cell matches the filter term
  • Use simple literal full or partial string matches
  • Separate multiple filter terms with a space. Any order may be used (i. e. a b c and c b a are equivalent )
  • Filtering will only apply to rows that are already loaded on the page. Filtering has no impact on query parameters.
  • Use quotes to match on a longer phrase with spaces (i.e. "mtor c1483f")

Sorting

  • Generally, the default sort order for tables is set to be first column ascending; however, specific tables may set a different default sort order.
  • Click on any column header arrows to sort by that column
  • Hold down the Shift key and click multiple columns to sort by more than one column. Be sure to set ascending or descending order for a given column before moving on to the next column.

PTEN L152P missense loss of function PTEN L152P lies within the phosphatase tensin-type domain of the Pten protein (UniProt.org). L152P is associated with decreased Pten expression and increased Akt phosphorylation in cultured cells (PMID: 30289966), and results in reduced phosphatase activity in a yeast assay (PMID: 29706350).
