A "light" touch on PI3K to interrogate cancer drug resistance. uri icon

abstract

  • In this issue of Cell Chemical Biology, Ueda etal. (2022) developed PPAP2 as an improved optogenetic tool to photo-induce PI3K signaling hyperactivation in cancer cells. They demonstrated that enhanced translation of tumor necrosis factor alpha-induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) might explain PI3K hyperactivation-associated resistance toward DNA damaging anti-cancer alkylating agents.
