Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a promising therapeutic target in advanced lung carcinoid patients. However, the mechanisms of mTOR modulation and of responsiveness to mTOR inhibitors are largely unclear. Our aim was to analyze the expression and functional role of specific miRNAs in lung carcinoids as an alternative mechanism targeting mTOR pathway.

High miR-100 expression is associated with aggressive features and modulates TORC1 complex activation in lung carcinoids

Abstract

Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a promising therapeutic target in advanced lung carcinoid patients. However, the mechanisms of mTOR modulation and of responsiveness to mTOR inhibitors are largely unclear. Our aim was to analyze the expression and functional role of specific miRNAs in lung carcinoids as an alternative mechanism targeting mTOR pathway.
