Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is the most rapidly progressive and fatal of all fibrotic conditions with no curative therapies. Common pathomechanisms between IPF cancer are increasingly recognised, including dysfunctional pan-PI3 kinase (PI3K) signalling as a driver aberrant proliferative responses. GSK2126458 novel, potent, PI3K/mammalian target rapamycin (mTOR) inhibitor which has recently completed phase I trials in oncology setting. Our aim was to establish scientific dosing...

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI3Ks) and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) play a role in the pathogenesis idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). Omipalisib (GSK2126458) is potent inhibitor PI3K/mTOR. A randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind, repeat dose escalation, experimental medicine study omipalisib subjects with IPF was conducted ( NCT01725139 ) to test safety, tolerability, pharmacokinetics pharmacodynamics. dosed at 0.25 mg, 1 mg 2 twice daily for 8 days four cohorts...

Abstract The αvβ6 integrin plays a key role in the activation of transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ), pro-fibrotic mediator that is pivotal to development idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). We identified selective small molecule RGD-mimetic, GSK3008348, and profiled it range disease relevant pre-clinical systems. To understand relationship between target engagement inhibition fibrosis, we measured pharmacodynamic disease-related end points. Here, report, GSK3008348 binds with high affinity...

Tight junctions (TJ) are essential components of polarized epithelia, and E-cadherin is important for their formation maintenance. The bronchial epithelial cell line, 16HBE14o- expresses E- P-cadherin, but not N-cadherin. P-cadherin levels changed during culture, the former increasing after confluence, latter were markedly reduced. All detectable was bound to &#103 - &#110 -catenins. We investigated involvement with integrity using an specific, function-blocking antibody, SHE78-7....
