Abstract
Lung cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer-related deaths worldwide and non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) accounts for about 75%-85% of all lung cancers. NSCLC often presents at stages too late for surgical intervention and traditional treatments including chemotherapy and radiotherapy are inadequate. The 5-year survival rate of NSCLC is only 5%-10%. PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway is an important intracellular signal transduction pathway. It plays an important role in cell apoptosis and survival by affecting the activity of downstream effector molecules, and it is closely associated with the development and progression of NSCLC. This article reviewed recent progress on the composition, anti-apoptosis and proproliferation of PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway, and discussed its potential targets to NSCLC therapy.Entities:

1PI3K/Akt/mTOR轴。各种生长因子作用于跨膜受体并使其活化,PI3K信号通路也因此而激活。胞浆面PIP3浓度升高,作为第二信使与AKT的PH结构域结合分别使AKT Thr308和Ser473磷酸化导致AKT完全激活,继而磷酸化mTOR及其下游分子p70S6K、4E-BP1,下传生存信号。PTEN作为负调控因子,能使PIP3去磷酸将其转变为PIP2而降解,从而阻断AKT及其下游分子的有效活化。
PI3K/Akt/mTOR axis. PI3Ks are predominantly activated by growth factor receptor tyrosine kinases. Generation of PI (3, 4, 5) P3 within the cell membrane by class IA PI3Ks initiates a signaling cascade that activates AKT and mTOR. mTOR is a central control- ler of cell growth, cell division and protein translation, primarily through two distinct pathways: ribosomal p70 S6 kinase (p70S6K) and the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 4E (eIF4E) bind- ing proteins (4E-BPs). The reaction catalyzed by class IA PI3Ks is directly antagonized by PTEN which dephosphorylates the 3' position of PI (3, 4, 5) P3 to produce PI (4, 5) P2.
