9. Reference
21.6% Cancer Death in whole death
Cancer is most high in death statistic
Cancer patients die 90% by 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 .

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.
Oncogene. 2007 Nov 22;26(53):7445-56
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.

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.
▶
PI3K catalyses the conversion of PIP2 to PIP3.
▶
Two Phosphorylation
①
PDK1 at Thr-308 on the activation loop
② mTORC2 at Ser-473 on the hydrophobic motif
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.

EMT induce
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.
