1. Why we must study metastasis?

 21.6% Cancer Death in whole death

 Cancer is most high in death statistic

 Cancer patients die 90% by metastasis

2. What is the Metastasis?

Nat Rev Cancer. 2007 Feb;7(2):79-94

 Malignant cells spread from the tumor of origin to colonize distant ogran.

 Metastasis steps consist of local invasion , intravasation, circulation, extravasation and colonization .

4. EMT

Nat Rev Cancer. 2009 Apr;9(4):265-73

EMT signaling networks

 Hyper-AKT decrease cell-cell connection by phosphorylation GSK-3β.

 Loss of E-cadherin through DNA methylation.

 Connection from AKT to

SNAIL induces EMT through decreasing cellcell adhesion.

5. Aniokis Resistance

A.

The EGFR-mediated activation of

ERK and PI3K/AKT signaling leads to degradation of the Bim and inhibition of the apoptotic process.

B. Cell lacking contact with ECM fails to activate the prosurvival pathway.

C.

In metastasis cancer cells, always

ROS maintained high level. Cell lacking contact with ECM leads to degradation of the Bim and inhibition of the apoptotic process.

6. AKT Regulation

AKT activation

 erbB/HER regulate cell growth and proliferation.

 EGF-I is involved in malignant transfrmation, tumor growth, local invasion and distant metastasis and Resistance to treatment.

 HGF is associated with cancer cell invasion.

 SFK are associated EMT, increased invasineness and malignant transformation.

AKT Activation

PI3K catalyses the conversion of PIP2 to PIP3.

Two Phosphorylation

PDK1 at Thr-308 on the activation loop

② mTORC2 at Ser-473 on the hydrophobic motif

AKT Inhibition

 PTEN directly antagonizes the activity of

PI3K by dephosphorylating phosphoinositides. (PIP3 → PIP2)

 PHLPP expression induced dephosphorylation AKT at Ser-473

 PP2A dephoshorylates Thr-308 of AKT on the activation loop and Modulates ERK activity.

7. Therapy though PI3K/AKT pathway

Nat Rev Drug Discov. 2005 Dec;4(12):988-1004

Therapy target : PI3K inhibitor, AKT, mTOR, Other Pathway components.

8. Summary

 PI3K catalyzed phosphorylation of AKT on Ser-473.

 Activated AKT phosphorylates GSK-3β, causing its proteosomal removal.

 GSK-3β increases the negative transcription factor SNAIL.

 SNAIL decreases E-cadherin that forms adhesions between adjacent cells.

 Lowered E-cadherin can indirectly activate AKT.
