For all primary tumor xenografts, the overall phosphorylation of mTOR, S6K1, 4EBP1 and eIF4E proteins was decreased by 53%, 33%, 62% and 64%, respectively, in rapamycin-treated tumors compared with tumors in the pretreatment and control groups (Table S5 in Additional file 7), supporting decreased mTOR pathway activity after treatment. The gene discussed is RPS6KB1; the disease is neoplasm.
