Another signaling pathway which is being considered to develop targeted therapies for medulloblastoma, is the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) cascade, which links polypeptide growth factors to cellular responses via their downstream signaling intermediates, in particular phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K), Akt, the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) and mitogen-activated extracellular signal-regulated kinase activating kinase (MEK) [12–18]. The gene discussed is AKT1; the disease is medulloblastoma.
