"Research has demonstrated that M2-Exos have a strong ability to promote angiogenesis during the healing of skin injuries.90–92 Lyu et al found that M2-Exos can enhance the vascularization of endothelial cells by transferring miR-21, which suppresses PTEN expression in these cells and activates the AKT/mTOR signaling pathway."
reach
"However, Magee et al. elegantly demonstrated that after PTEN deletion, which activates the mTOR-signalling pathway, deletion of Rictor abrogates leukaemogenesis and HSC depletion in adult, but not neonatal, mice [53], highlighting that the PTEN-mTORC2 signalling axis has a role in activating these processes in a temporally dependent manner."
reach
"We have previously shown that mTORC1 activity, detected as phosphorylation of 4E‐BP1, is transiently increased in mouse fibroblasts following hypoosmotic exposure, that is, mTOR activity is significantly increased and boosted by PTEN inhibition within minutes following osmotic cell swelling but reduced following prolonged (4 h/24 h) hypotonic adaptation (Lambert et al. 2014)."
reach
"An increase in H3K27me3 level of the PTEN promoter region mediated by EZH2 increases the transcription of the silenced PTEN gene and activates the AKT/mTOR pathway (Jarome et al., 2018) CBX2 mainly targets PRC1 to chromatin, and the C-terminal multi-comb receptor box of CBX2 can specifically recognize H3K27me3, thus enhancing the inhibition of gene expression (Ma et al., 2014)."
reach
"Alternatively, it is possible that the effects on the PI3K and mTOR pathway mediated by PTEN loss are not reflected in steady-state levels of these various phosphorylated proteins or that PTEN loss results in effects on prostate cancer in addition to the PI3K and mTOR pathway (eg, c-Jun N-terminal kinase [JNK] signaling and/or enhancer of zeste homolog 2 [EZH2] overexpression)."
reach
"Interestingly, it has been shown recently that loss of Pten induces ER UDPase ectonucleoside triphosphate diphosphohydrolase 5 (ENTPD5), and activation of the AKT and mTOR pathway leads to induction of pyruvate kinase isoenzyme type M2 (PKM2), which contribute to aerobic glycolysis, also known as the Warburg effect, and tumor growth in a xenograft model of prostate cancer."
reach
"MTOR can be inhibited by rapamycin via interaction with its receptor FK506-binding protein 12, and is activated by PI3K and PTEN loss; eventually this initiates carcinogenesis and subsequent progression via the oxygen and nutrient supply through the upregulation of HIF1α expression and promotion of angiogenesis (63,64)."
reach
"Loss of the lipid phosphatase PTEN and/or activating mutations in the PI3K catalytic subunit PIK3CA are also commonly found, which altogether drive downstream activation of oncogenic RAS/MAPK and AKT/mTOR signaling, among other crucial pathways involved in growth and survival of glioblastoma (Brennan et al., 2013; McLendon et al., 2008)."
reach
"The PTEN and TSC2 tumor suppressors function to antagonize mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) activation by Akt; hence, compound heterozygous inactivation of Pten and Tsc2 in the mouse may in principle exacerbate the tumor phenotypes observed in the single mutants in a reciprocal manner."
reach
"A representative example to manipulate a cell-intrinsic pathway is deletion of PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog), an inhibitor of the mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway for cell growth and metabolism ; PTEN deletion upregulates mTOR pathways and can enhance axon regeneration in damaged nervous tissue, including the optic nerve and CST neurons ."
reach
"Dysfunction or deletion of tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) can increase the incidence of deleterious mutations and activate AKT/mTOR signaling, thereby inhibiting autophagic death of tumor cells and promoting their proliferation and survival (Glaviano et al., 2023)."
reach
"We therefore decided to compare the primary effects of altered mTOR signaling on synaptic transmission in both glutamatergic and GABAergic neurons by characterizing autaptic cultures of neurons in which mTOR activity was increased by loss of the negative regulator Pten or decreased by treatment with the mTOR inhibitor rapamycin."
reach
"PTEN gene exhibited nonsense mutation Y16X in one patient, resulting in a truncated PTEN protein which is unable to inhibit the PIK3/mTOR pathway.21 Although there was little overlap of genetic alterations identified by different studies, most of the genomic studies have reported the TP53 gene as frequently mutated in ONB patients, suggesting that a complex signaling network regulated by p53 can be a potential therapeutic target (Table 2)."
reach
"As previously reported, Akt and mTOR could be inhibited by upstream phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and the loss of either PTEN or tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1) would lead to constitutive activation of mTOR and exert significant neuroprotection and axon growth-promoting effects upon damaged retinal ganglion cells."
reach
"In addition to FXS and RTT, a number of genetic susceptibilities have been linked to elevated autism risk including maternal 15q11-13 chromosomal duplications, anomalies in the tumor suppressor genes NF1, TSC1 and TSC2, and PTEN that activate mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling pathways, and mutations in a range of synaptic genes such as the neurexins, neuroligins, SHANK3 and CNTNAP2."
reach
"Similar effects of ezetimibe have been noted in other tumor bearing models if mice are fed a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet.30 Although PTEN deficiency can increase cholesterol synthesis by activating the mammalian target of rapamycin and its downstream targets PPAR-gamma, srebp-1 and srebp-2,31 the increase in serum cholesterol levels was mild in Pten Deltahep mice."
reach
"In this Research Topic, multiple studies have demonstrated the role and mechanism of engineered extracellular vesicles in promoting tissue healing and inflammatory regulation, and introduced the cutting-edge methods for preparing engineered extracellular vesicles.In terms of the mechanism of tissue repairing by EVs, Lyu et al. demonstrated that M2-EXO enhanced the angiogenic ability of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) in vitro by transferring miR-21-5p, which inhibited PTEN expression and activated the AKT/mTOR pathway."
reach
"Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) mutation in glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) patients causes abnormally high activity of the pathways of Phosphatidylinositide 3-kinases (PI3K), Protein Kinase B (AKT), and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and is associated with unfavorable prognosis."
reach
"These data demonstrated that the mTOR-AKT axis is absolutely required for polyposis induced by mesenchymal Pten deletion.However, unlike mTOR requirement in the Gli1 ;Pten mice, the mice carrying the concurrent deletion of both LKB1 and mTOR (Gli1 ;LKB1 ;mTOR ) still robustly developed hamartomatous polyps at the GI junction (Figures 4I and 4J)."
reach
"Here we demonstrate that mTOR activity in Ehrlich Lettre ascites (ELA) cells is transiently increased within minutes following osmotic cell swelling and that inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphatase (PTEN) counteracts the upstream phosphatidylinositol kinase and potentiates mTOR activity."
reach
"GH-induced decreased PTEN may trigger mTOR activity (44), stimulating cell proliferation and survival, while p53 deficiency may also enhance proliferation, exacerbating GH effects on DNA damage accumulation.In summary, excess GH secreted from somatotroph pituitary adenomas or GH induced locally in response to DNA damage, senescence, or inflammation (15) may alter the local microenvironment, providing a favorable milieu for non-transformed cells to acquire pro-proliferative mutations."
reach
"Western blot analysis was used to determine the effect of combination therapy on the PI3K/Akt/mTOR and MAPK pathways; it was revealed that the expression levels of p-PI3K, p-Akt, p-mTOR and Akt were downregulated, while the expression of the tumor suppressor regulator PTEN, which inhibits the Akt/mTOR signaling pathway (27), increased in the combination therapy group (Figs."
reach
"Previous studies have shown that inhibiting the mTOR kinase using rapamycin prior to learning blocks new memories from being formed.30, 31 Similarly, hyperactivation of mTOR caused by the genetic deletion of Pten can also lead to memory impairment.18 Thus, both increased and decreased mTOR activity can have detrimental effects on memory."
reach
"53 Additionally, studies have found that RNF146 results in the ubiquitination and degradation of phosphatase and tensin homolog which is recognized as a protein substrate of RNF146, to activate the Akt/mTOR pathway and promote tumor cell proliferation and glycolysis.54 Though the relationship of RNF146 and mitochondrial dysfunction and redox imbalance in immune cells has been extensively studied in sepsis, little is known about the function of RNF146 in trained immunity."
reach
"The same group revealed that concurrent activation of mTOR and Janus kinase and signal transducers and activators of transcription (JAK and STAT3) pathways, by double inhibition of PTEN and suppressor of cytokine signaling 3 (SOCS3), are necessary for sustaining long distance axon regeneration in the adult CNS."
reach
"Specifically, genomic profiling based on clinical-grade NGS could identify whether PTEN loss or other GAs activating the mTOR pathway are present alongside the BRAF fusion in a pilocytic astrocytoma of patient, thus suggesting a potential responsiveness to combined sorafenib and mTOR targeted therapy."
reach
"A protein positioned downstream of PTEN, namely, PRAS40, does not inhibit the mTOR pathway in its phosphorylated form (discussed in Section 2.1), and it can therefore be assumed that upon activation of the mTOR pathway, these proteins are linked and correlate in terms of phosphorylation status."

"As previously reported, Akt and mTOR could be inhibited by upstream phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and the loss of either PTEN or tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1) would lead to constitutive activation of mTOR and exert significant neuroprotection and axon growth-promoting effects upon damaged retinal ganglion cells. xref , xref Bisperoxovanadium compounds are potent PTEN inhibitors, which are shown to exert neuroprotection functions on a variety of central nervous system (CNS) injury/disease models. xref Inhibition of PTEN by bisperoxovanadium could lead to neuroprotective effects and recovery of function after cervical unilateral contusive SCI. xref Moreover, bisperoxovanadium markedly promoted downstream Akt/mTOR signaling pathway and decreased autophagy, suggesting that inhibition of PTEN may mediate the effects of bisperoxovanadium in SCI. xref Thus, we hypothesize that BYHWD might improve the outcome function of SCI through mTOR signaling pathway and autophagy-related manners."
reach
"This indicated that loss of Pten activates Akt and that there might be a complex mechanism, through which Pten regulates the expression of Sox2 at different stages during ESCs differentiation.Mouse ESCs are maintained by using the cytokine LIF to activate Stat3 signaling , and PTEN negatively regulates PI3K/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) , which promotes STAT3 activity ."
reach
"Despite clear association between PTEN loss-mediated overactivation of AKT/mTOR signaling and aberrant neuronal form and function, the precise downstream molecular mechanisms resulting in these varied phenotypes are not well delineated.Currently, analogs of the naturally occurring mTOR inhibitor, rapamycin, are being investigated as a therapy for patients with ASD and tuberous sclerosis or PTEN hamartoma tumor syndrome (Cardamone et al., 2014; Mizuguchi et al., 2019; Sabatini et al., 1994)."
reach
"Phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) activation inhibits AKT and mTOR signaling, and current studies have confirmed that microRNA (miRNA) -21 targets PTEN to activate the AKT and mTOR pathway, which plays an important role in the key pathological damage observed in DN [XREF_BIBR, XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"Transfection of PTEN into the PC3 cells decreased the activation of Akt and the downstream mTOR regulated 70-kDa S6 (p70 (s6k)) kinase and reversed the resistance to doxorubicin in these cells, indicating that changes in PTEN status and Akt activation modulate the cellular response to doxorubicin."
reach
"Because Pten deletion promoted mTOR signaling and axon growth rostral to injury irrespective of age in both the rubrospinal and corticospinal systems, we hypothesized that differences in environmental influences at and around the lesion site could be responsible for the age dependent decline in axon regeneration beyond the injury site."
reach
"A mechanistic study further reveals that downregulation of hepatic Me1 expression is largely mediated by the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN)-dependent suppression of the mechanistic target of rapamycin/sterol regulatory element-binding protein 1 (mTOR/SREBP1) signaling pathway in hepatic I/R model."
reach
"Since PTEN negatively regulates the mTOR signaling pathway, we then investigated whether there was interaction between the MTOR rs2295080 and PTEN rs701848 in influencing RCC risk, however, as shown in XREF_TABLE, no significant interaction was observed (P interaction = 0.118), although individuals with both risk genotypes (rs2295080 TT and rs701848 CC) had a significantly increased RCC risk of 1.72."
reach
"In addition, Hu and colleagues also found that plasma membrane (PM)-located AGK inhibited the phosphatase activity of PTEN by phosphorylating PTEN at Ser380, Thr382, and Thr383, thereby activating the PI3K–AKT–mTOR signaling pathway, facilitating CD8 T-cell proliferation and enhancing antitumor immunity (19)."

"7 EGFR, which belongs to the erbB family, activates the same downstream signaling pathways, including the Ras-Raf-MAPK signaling pathway and the phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT signaling pathway, involving other key effectors such as nuclear factor-kappaB and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which could be inhibited by phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN)."
reach
"Mutations or deletions of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) and the heterodimeric complex of tuberous sclerosis proteins 1 and 2 (TSC1 and hamartin, TSC2 and tuberin) can dramatically upregulate mTOR signaling and contribute to a class of human neurological diseases characterized as " TORopathies "."
