Abstract
Combined PIK3CA and KRAS small interfering RNA treatments offer an effective therapy against colorectal cancer cells with coexisting mutations in both pathways. Decreased 4E-BP1 phosphorylation correlates with increased apoptosis and may provide a biomarker indicative of treatment success. In addition, small interfering RNA directed to PIK3CA and KRAS may be used to enhance the effects of current chemotherapy.
