NCI-H460 cells with mutant PIK3CA and KRASgenes. Finally, the effect of radiation on EMT-associated markers was also assessed, revealing that mTORC1 inhibition couldalleviate irradiation-specific EMT changesin NCI-H661 cells. Conclusion: these data suggest that mTORC1 inhibition in NSCLC may enhance radiosensitivity by affecting the expression of EMT-associated proteins.This suggests targeting mTORC1 may provide a potential new strategy for the treatment of NSCLC with wildtype PIK3CA and KRAS genes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
