"While the inhibition of mTOR activity as well as activation by the tumor suppressor LKB1 serve as a basis for AMPK 's anti-tumor effects, induction of potentially pro survival pathways like autophagy and glucose uptake have been proposed to challenge the molecule 's anti-cancer role [XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"Melanocytic nevi, a benign proliferation of melanocytes, which can give birth to malignant melanoma, show in many cases elevated PLD2 expression as well as activation of Akt, whereas LKB1 expression is still high in most cases, suppressing aberrant mTOR activation, which occurred only in 25% of the analysed specimen (XREF_FIG)."
reach
"Since the PI3K and Akt and MAPK and ERK signaling pathways, which positively regulate the mTOR axis, are often activated in many types of cancer, and LKB1, which suppresses mTOR signaling, is frequently mutated in certain types of cancers, mTOR signaling is consequently hyper-activated in many types of cancers."
reach
"STK11 also negatively regulates mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling through its substrate AMPK, and the loss of STK11 leads to the aberrant activation of mTOR in a variety of tissues, with a case study showing usefulness of the mTor inhibitor everolimus for therapy (5-6) (Figure 1)."
reach
"The mTOR signaling is negatively regulated by LKB1 (liver kinase B1) and its downstream target AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK), two master nutrient sensors, that sense cellular stress (e.g., limiting ATP levels) and promote FAO in CD8 T cell memory and Treg cells (XREF_FIG) [XREF_BIBR], [XREF_BIBR]."
reach
"It is thought that MET in culture conditions with high concentrations of glucose stimulates AMPK through an LKB1-dependent mechanism, which blocks mTOR, causing a powerful inhibition of cell proliferation in several types of cancer cells specially non-TN breast cancer cells (21, 25, 26)."
reach
"Second, in HeLa and pMEP4-LKB 1 inducible cells, induction of LKB1 decreased the activation of mTOR (phospho-mTOR, XREF_FIG, XREF_SUPPLEMENTARY) while enhancing the activation of AMP activated protein kinase (AMPK) as reflected by an increase in the phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), a substrate of the LKB1-AMPK cascade (XREF_FIG)."
