“…Aberrant cell signaling pathways in cancer are common. Activation and mutations of PI3 kinase (PI3K), mTOR, insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and NF-kB pathways have all been identified in several human disorders (Lewis et al, 2018;Souder and Anderson, 2019;Carter et al, 2019;Farias Quipildor et al, 2019), especially cancer (Hanahan and Weinberg, 2011;Royce et al, 2019). IGF-1 is a ligand for receptor tyrosine kinases Abbreviations: ATCC, American Type Tissue Culture; BLI, bioluminescence intensity; BDNF, brain derived neurotrophic factor; DAPI, 4′,6-diamidino-2phenylindole; DMSO, Dimethyl sulfoxide; ELISA, enzyme-linked immunoabsorbent assay; GBM, glioblastoma multiforme; GSC, glioma stem cell; IP, intraperitoneal; OS, overall survival; PI3K/mTOR, phosphoinositide 3-kinase/ mammalian target of rapamycin; PO, per os, by mouth; TUNEL, terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling; VM, vasculogenic mimicry; NF-kB, Nuclear Factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells; JNK, c-Jun N-terminal kinase; STAT3, Signal transducer and activator of transcription 3.…”
