1 Regulatory effects of mammalian target of rapamycin-mediated signals in the generation of arsenic trioxide responses. Arsenic Trioxide mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
2 In studies using primary hematopoietic progenitors from patients with acute myeloid leukemia, we found that pharmacological inhibition of mTOR enhances the suppressive effects of arsenic trioxide on leukemic progenitor colony formation. Arsenic Trioxide mechanistic target of rapamycin kinase Homo sapiens
3 Altogether, these data provide evidence for a key regulatory role of the Akt/mTOR pathway in the generation of the effects of As(2)O(3), and suggest that targeting this signaling cascade may provide a novel therapeutic approach to enhance the anti-leukemic properties of As(2)O(3).
