Control of PD-L1 Expression by Oncogenic Activation of the AKT-mTOR Pathway in Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer.
Alterations in EGFR, KRAS, and ALK are oncogenic drivers in lung cancer, but how oncogenic signaling influences immunity in the tumor microenvironment is just beginning to be understood.… Expand

Perifosine: Update on a novel Akt inhibitor
The PI3K/Akt/mTOR pathway is aberrantly active in most human cancers and contributes to cell growth, proliferation, and survival. Akt is a nodal regulator of cellular survival pathways and an… Expand

SOX2 expression is an early event in a murine model of EGFR mutant lung cancer and promotes proliferation of a subset of EGFR mutant lung adenocarcinoma cell lines.
OBJECTIVES Primary and acquired resistance to EGFR TKIs in EGFR mutant lung cancer occurs primarily through secondary mutations in EGFR or Met amplification. Drug resistance can also be mediated by… Expand
