Oncogenic PIK3CA corrupts growth factor signaling specificity by Ralitsa R Madsen, Alix Le Marois, Oliwia N Mruk, Margaritis Voliotis, Shaozhen Yin, Jahangir Sufi, Xiao Qin, Salome J Zhao, Julia Gorczynska, Daniele Morelli, Lindsay Davidson, Erik Sahai, Viktor I Korolchuk, Christopher J Tape, Bart Vanhaesebroeck

“…Using this framework, we found that the PIK3CA H1047R oncogene was not a simple, constitutive activator of the pathway as often presented. Dose-dependent expression of PIK3CA H1047R in human cervical cancer and induced pluripotent stem cells corrupted the fidelity of growth factor-induced information transfer, with preferential amplification of epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling responses compared to insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) and insulin receptor signaling. …”
