Growth-stimulating signals originating from within and outside the cell are integrated through mTOR into processes that maintain cell viability and stimulate cell growth, cell division, and angiogenesis. mTOR is a sensor that acts as a biochemical switch, ensuring that supplies of energy and nutrients in the cell are sufficient to support these processes 1,2 In cancer cells, one or more of the proteins shown upstream of mTOR may be deregulated, and this loss of regulation contributes to, and in some cases drives, the malignancy. These include overproduction of hormones, cytokines, and growth factors and aberrant expression of growth factor receptors and signaling molecules, such as PI3-K, PTEN, Akt, and TSC1/2 (and LKB1, which is not shown). Aberrant signaling in parallel signaling pathways also affects signaling through mTOR because these pathways are connected to the mTOR pathway. These connections are referred to as “cross-talk” and involve the Ras/Raf/MAPK pathway and Abl signaling 2-5 References Bjornsti and Houghton. Nat Rev Cancer . 2004;4:335-348. Crespo and Hall.

Cancer therapy with mTOR inhibition may potentially be used with other approaches to cancer monotherapy or multimodality therapy. Several multiagent combinations are being investigated in clinical trials. The figure shows combinations for which a rationale has been developed in preclinical studies
