"Notably, suppressing FAPalpha in oral squamous cancer cells significantly decreased the expression of phosphorylated phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K), protein kinase B (AKT), mitogen activated protein kinase kinase 1/2 and extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) 1/2, and upregulated the expression of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)."
reach
"In addition, the protein level of PTEN was also elevated by GAS5 overexpression; however, the GAS5 induced increase in PTEN protein expression was suppressed markedly by miR-32-5p overexpression, suggesting that miR-32-5p negatively regulated the expression of PTEN and mediated the effect of GAS5 on PTEN expression."
reach
"The involvement of PTEN in human mammary oncogenesis has been implicated from studies showing that germline PTEN mutation in Cowden disease predisposes to breast cancer, the frequent loss of heterozygosity at the PTEN locus, and reduced PTEN protein levels in sporadic breast cancers."
reach
"Interestingly, we found that mutation of the PTEN Tyr 155 residue significantly increased the association of WWP2 with PTEN, followed by enhanced polyubiquitylation and reduced PTEN protein levels (XREF_FIG), indicating that some yet-to-be-identified tyrosine kinases may be involved in the regulation of the WWP2-PTEN interaction."

"The modulation of intracellular PI (3,4,5) P 3 levels through overexpression of PTEN or a lipid phosphatase deficient mutant PTEN (G129E) was also observed to significantly reduce or elevate macropinosome formation respectively; coexpression of PTEN (G129E) with SNX9 or SNX18 synergistically elevated macropinosome formation to 119.4 +/-7.13 and 91.4 +/-6.37 macropinosomes respectively (p < 0.05)."
