Phosphoinositide 3-kinase α (PIK3CA) is one of the most mutated genes across cancers, especially breast, gynecologic, and head neck squamous cell carcinoma tumors. Mutations occur throughout gene, but hotspot mutations in helical kinase domains predominate. The therapeutic benefit isoform-selective PI3Kα inhibition was established with alpelisib, which displays equipotent activity against wild-type mutant enzyme. Inhibition associated severe hyperglycemia rash, limits alpelisib use suggests...

Summary paragraph Heart failure (HF), a syndrome of symptomatic fluid overload due to cardiac dysfunction, is the most rapidly growing cardiovascular disorder. Despite recent advances, mortality and morbidity remain high treatment innovation challenged by limited understanding aetiology in relation disease subtypes. Here we harness de-confounding properties genetic variation map causal biology underlying HF phenotypic spectrum, inform development more effective treatments. We report...

Abstract PI3Kα is highly mutated in cancer resulting hyperactivation of lipid kinase activity and downstream AKT signaling. H1047 the most common site oncogenic mutation occurs ~14% all breast cancers. Initial therapeutic benefit targeting was established with alpelisib, an alpha-selective PI3K inhibitor that equipotent against wild-type mutant forms. However, inhibition results frequent dose-limiting toxicities including hyperglycemia, restricting full potential this drug. Selective...

Abstract Oncogenic PIK3CA mutations are found in 14% of all cancers and most frequently occur at amino acids E542/E545 H1047, involving the helical kinase domains, respectively (Zhang 2017). Alpelisib is a PI3Kα isoform-selective, orthosteric inhibitor, having equivalent activity on wild-type (wt) mutant (mt) forms was approved to treat mt, HR+/HER2- breast cancer combination with fulvestrant, nearly doubling progression-free survival (Andre 2019). Hyperglycemia insulin resistance an...

Abstract Activating mutations in PI3Kα are among the most prevalent genetic aberrations breast cancer. Constitutive signaling of is an established oncogenic driver these cancers, as predictors response to alpelisib, approved inhibitor, which inhibits both wild type and mutant PI3Kα. While inhibiting has proven be efficacious, concomitant inhibition enzyme normal tissue results metabolic dysfunction ultimately dose-limiting toxicities. Selectively targeting expected inhibit tumor growth while...
