The phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of the rapamycin (mTOR) signalling pathway is hyperactivated or altered in many cancer types and regulates a broad range of cellular processes including survival, proliferation, growth, metabolism, angiogenesis and metastasis. The PI3K/ AKT/mTOR pathway is regulated by a wide-range of upstream signalling proteins and it regulates many downstream effectors by collaborating with various compensatory signalling pathways, primarily with RAF/MEK/ERK pathway. Limited clinical success of the available targeted therapeutic agents and challenges mediated by tumour heterogeneity across different cancer types emphasize the importance of alterations in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway in the design of effective personalized treatment strategies. Here we report a comprehensive PI3K/AKT/mTOR network that represents the intricate crosstalk between compensatory pathways, which can be utilized to study the AKT signalling mechanism in detail and improve the personalized combinatorial therapeutic strategies.

Activation of survival pathways in nutrient restricted colorectal cancer cells Oral, Göksu; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2023-1-9) Limited nutrient availability in the tumor microenvironment can cause metabolic rewiring of cancer cells, resulting in the activation of various stress response pathways such as autophagy for survival. Our study showed for the first time that incubation of LoVo cells with a nutrient restriction medium containing low glucose, glutamine, and serum for 48 h resulted in the concurrent activation of two antagonistic proteins: the AMP Kinase pathway (AMPK) which is phosphorylated in response to low energy and act...
The NF-kappa B target genes ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 are differentially regulated during spontaneous differentiation of Caco-2 cells Astarci, Erhan; Sade, Asli; Cimen, Ismail; SAVAŞ, BERNA; Banerjee, Sreeparna (Wiley, 2012-08-01) Intestinal epithelial differentiation entails the formation of highly specialized cells with specific absorptive, secretory, digestive and immune functions. Cellcell and cellmicroenvironment interactions appear to be crucial in determining the outcome of the differentiation process. Using the Caco-2 cell line, which undergoes spontaneous re-differentiation when grown past confluency, we observed a loss of VCAM-1 (vascular cell adhesion molecule 1) mRNA expression, while ICAM-1 (intercellular cell adhesion m...
Stochastic modelling of the MAPK signalling pathway Purutçuoğlu Gazi, Vilda (null; 2006-06-01) The MAPK (mitogen-activated protein kinase) or its synonymous ERK (extracellular signal regulated kinase) pathway whose components are Ras, Raf, and MEK proteins with many biochemical links, is one of the major signalling systems involved in cellular growth control of eukaryotes including cell proliferation, transformation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Because of its diverse functionality, it is also activated in a variety of hormone activation and many illnesses, which have multi-complex gene structure ...
Induction of Partial EMT with Nutrient Restriction and Lysosomal Alkalinization in Caco-2 Colorectal Cancer Cells Hüsnügil, Hepşen Hazal; Banerjee, Sreeparna; Department of Biology (2022-8) Limited availability of nutrients to cancer cells can result in metabolic rewiring, manifesting in the activation of processes such as autophagy for survival. Our study shows for the first time that Caco-2 cells incubated in a nutrient-restriction (NR) medium of low glucose, glutamine and serum for 48h were viable but less proliferative, demonstrated robust autophagy induction and lower sensitivity to 5- Fluorouracil. However, the cargo protein p62 was not degraded efficiently, suggesting a slower autop...
Development of sandwich type nucleic acid array platform for the detection of micrornas in breast cancer Atılgan, Seren; Öktem, Hüseyin Avni; Department of Biology (2014) MicroRNAs are small non-coding RNAs that are involved in important regulatory pathways such as differentiation, development, metabolism, cell proliferation, and cell death. Several recent research show that deregulated expression of miRNAs has crucial roles in disease pathologies, mainly in cancer. Therefore, it is likely that the usage of miRNAs as diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers in patients and the development of various techniques for the detection of microRNA in clinical research will become widesp...
