2 FIGURE 1 mTOR-signaling network. Activated growth factor receptors trigger activation of the PI3K/Akt pathways and the Ras/MEK/Erk pathway. Activated Akt leads to increased mTOR activity through signaling by means of the TSC1/2 complex. mTOR then phosphorylates S6K1 and 4E-BP1, resulting in increased gene transcription, cell growth, and cell proliferation. PI3-K, phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; AMPK, adenosine mono-phosphate-activated protein kinase; LKB1, liver kinase B1; PTEN, phosphatase and tensin homologue; STRAD, Ste20-like adaptor protein; TSC, tuberous sclerosis complex; EGFR, epidermal growth factor receptor; mTOR, mammalian target of rapamycin; m, signaling proteins frequently mutated in lung cancer; bm, potential as biomarker; Ras, ras2 Kirsten rat sarcoma viral oncogene homolog; MEK, MAPK/ERK kinase; Erk, extracellular signal-regulated kinase.
