To determine the role of miRNAs in lung cancer driven by aberrant PI3K/AKT signaling, we have examined changes in miRNA levels that are induced by alterations of this pathway through different mutations that are observed in human NSCLC [11], including a gain-of-function mutant of PIK3CA (E545K), a gain-of-function mutant of AKT1 (E17K) and the loss of PTEN expression [12, 13, 45, 46]. This evidence concerns the gene PIK3CA and non-small cell lung carcinoma.
