1 PKI-587 and sorafenib targeting PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Ras/Raf/MAPK pathways synergistically inhibit HCC cell proliferation. Sorafenib zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2 Homo sapiens
2 EGF increased phosphorylation of Ras/Raf downstream signaling proteins MEK and ERK; EGF-stimulated activation was inhibited by sorafenib. Sorafenib zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2 Homo sapiens
3 However, when PKI-587 and sorafenib were used in combination, they inhibited all the tested kinases in the Ras/Raf /MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathways. Sorafenib zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2 Homo sapiens
4 CONCLUSION: The combination of PKI-587 and sorafenib has the advantage over monodrug therapy on inhibition of HCC cell proliferation by blocking both PI3K/AKT/mTOR and Ras/Raf/MAPK signaling pathways. Sorafenib zinc fingers and homeoboxes 2 Homo sapiens
