Inhibition of mammalian target of rapamycin as a therapeutic strategy in the management of bladder cancer
Bibliographic record
Abstract
We examined whether mTOR inhibition by RAD001 (Everolimus) could be therapeutically efficacious in the treatment of bladder cancer. RAD001 markedly inhibited proliferation of nine human urothelial carcinoma cell lines in dose- and sensitivity-dependent manners in vitro. FACS analysis showed that treatment with RAD001 for 48 h induced a cell cycle arrest in the G(0)/G(1) phase in all cell lines, without eliciting apoptosis. Additionally, RAD001 significantly inhibited the phosphorylation of S6 downstream of mTOR and VEGF production in all cell lines. We also found tumor weights from nude mice bearing human KU-7 subcutaneous xenografts treated with RAD001 were significantly reduced as compared to placebo-treated mice. This tumor growth inhibition was associated with significant decrease in cell proliferation rate and angiogenesis without changes in cell death. In conclusion inhibition of mTOR signaling in bladder cancer models demonstrated remarkable antitumor activity both in vitro and in vivo. This is the first study showing that RAD001 could be exploited as a potential therapeutic strategy in bladder cancer.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
