T1001 is an antagonist of hypoxia-inducible factor-2α subunit (HIF-2α) which displaces residue M252 from inside the HIF-2α PAS-B pocket toward the ARNT subunit to weaken heterodimerization.
Apoptin-derived peptide, an antitumor polypeptide, exhibits cytotoxic effects by promoting apoptosis and necrosis in gastric cancer (GC) cells through the modulation of the PI3K AKT ARNT signaling pathway. It also impedes both the invasion and migration of cancer cells by inhibiting the expression and phosphorylation of the p85 subunit of PI3K, subsequently suppressing the PI3K AKT pathway critical to gastric cancer development [1].
