Assessing the subcellular distribution of oncogenic phosphoinositide 3-kinase using microinjection into live cells. Biosci Rep 2014; 34:BSR20130133.

Abstract
Oncogenic mutations in PIK3CA lead to an increase in intrinsic phosphoinositide kinase activity, but it is thought that increased access of PI3Kα (phosphoinositide 3-kinase α) to its PM (plasma membrane) localized substrate is also required for increased levels of downstream PIP3/Akt [phosphoinositide-3,4,5-trisphosphate/also called PKB (protein kinase B)] signalling. We have studied the subcellular localization of wild-type and the two most common oncogenic mutants of PI3Kα in cells maintained in growth media, and starved or stimulated cells using a novel method in which PI3Kα is pre-formed as a 1:1 p110α:p85α complex in vitro then introduced into live cells by microinjection. Oncogenic E545K and H1047R mutants did not constitutively interact with membrane lipids in vitro or in cells maintained in 10% (v/v) FBS. Following stimulation of RTKs (receptor tyrosine kinases), microinjected PI3Kα was recruited to the PM, but oncogenic forms of PI3Kα were not recruited to the PM to a greater extent and did not reside at the PM longer than the wild-type PI3Kα. Instead, the E545K mutant specifically bound activated Cdc42 in vitro and microinjection of E545K was associated with the formation of cellular protrusions, providing some preliminary evidence that changes in protein–protein interactions may play a role in the oncogenicity of the E545K mutant in addition to the well-known changes in lipid kinase activity. Oncogenic forms of PI3Kα (phosphoinositide 3-kinase α) microinjected into live cells are not recruited to the PM (plasma membrane) to a greater extent, and do not reside at the PM longer, than wild-type PI3Kα.

Abstract
Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) is an important pathology associated with the human skeletal muscle and has been studied extensively. Gene expression measurements on skeletal muscle of patients afflicted with DMD provides the opportunity to understand the underlying mechanisms that lead to the pathology. Community structure analysis is a useful computational technique for understanding and modeling genetic interaction networks. In this paper, we leverage this technique in combination with gene expression measurements from normal and DMD patient skeletal muscle tissue to study the structure of genetic interactions in the context of DMD. We define a novel framework for transforming a raw dataset of gene expression measurements into an interaction network, and subsequently apply algorithms for community structure analysis for the extraction of topological communities. The emergent communities are analyzed from a biological standpoint in terms of their constituent biological pathways, and an interpretation that draws correlations between functional and structural organization of the genetic interactions is presented. We also compare these communities and associated functions in pathology against those in normal human skeletal muscle. In particular, differential enhancements are observed in the following pathways between pathological and normal cases: Metabolic, Focal adhesion, Regulation of actin cytoskeleton and Cell adhesion, and implication of these mechanisms are supported by prior work. Furthermore, our study also includes a gene-level analysis to identify genes that are involved in the coupling between the pathways of interest. We believe that our results serve to highlight important distinguishing features in the structural/functional organization of constituent biological pathways, as it relates to normal and DMD cases, and provide the mechanistic basis for further biological investigations into specific pathways differently regulated between normal and DMD patients. These findings have the potential to serve as fertile ground for therapeutic applications involving targeted drug development for DMD.

Epidermal growth factor stimulates translocation of the class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase PI3K-C2beta to the nucleus. Biochem J 2009; 422:53-60.

Abstract
Although the class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase enzymes PI3K-C2alpha and PI3K-C2beta act acutely downstream of cell surface receptors they have also been localized to nuclei in mammalian cells. As with the class I PI3K enzymes, the relationship between the pools of enzyme present in cytoplasm and nuclei remains poorly understood. In this study we test the hypothesis that PI3K-C2beta translocates to nuclei in response to growth factor stimulation. Fractionating homogenates of quiescent cells revealed that less than 5% of total PI3K-C2beta resides in nuclei. Stimulation with epidermal growth factor sequentially increased levels of this enzyme, firstly in the cytosol and secondly in the nuclei. Using detergent-treated nuclei, we showed that PI3K-C2beta co-localized with lamin A/C in the nuclear matrix. This was confirmed biochemically, and a phosphoinositide kinase assay showed a statistically significant increase in nuclear PI3K-C2beta levels and lipid kinase activity following epidermal growth factor stimulation. C-terminal deletion and point mutations of PI3K-C2beta demonstrated that epidermal growth factor-driven translocation to the nucleus is dependent on a sequence of basic amino acid residues (KxKxK) that form a nuclear localization motif within the C-terminal C2 domain. Furthermore, when this sequence was expressed as an EGFP (enhanced green fluorescent protein) fusion protein, it translocated fluorescence into nuclei with an efficiency dependent upon copy number. These data demonstrate that epidermal growth factor stimulates the appearance of PI3K-C2beta in nuclei. Further, this effect is dependent on a nuclear localization signal present within the C-terminal C2 domain, indicating its bimodal function regulating phospholipid binding and shuttling PI3K-C2beta into the nucleus.

Abstract
The PIK3CA gene, encoding the p110alpha catalytic subunit of Class IA PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases), is frequently mutated in many human tumours. The three most common tumour-derived alleles of p110alpha, H1047R, E542K and E545K, were shown to potently activate PI3K signalling in human epithelial cells. In the present study, we examine the biochemical activity of the recombinantly purified PI3K oncogenic mutants. The kinetic characterizations of the wt (wild-type) and the three 'hot spot' PI3K mutants show that the mutants all have approx. 2-fold increase in lipid kinase activities. Interestingly, the phosphorylated IRS-1 (insulin receptor substrate-1) protein shows activation of the lipid kinase activity for the wt and H1047R but not E542K and E545K PI3Kalpha, suggesting that these mutations represent different mechanisms of lipid kinase activation and hence transforming activity in cancer cells.

Abstract
The class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-C2beta is recruited to polypeptide growth factor receptors following ligand stimulation. In contrast to the class I A p85/p110 heterodimers, this interaction is dependent upon proline residues present within the N-terminal sequence of the 3-phosphoinositide kinase. However, the mechanism by which PI3K-C2beta catalytic activity is regulated currently remains unknown. In many tumours, increased expression of ErbB receptors confers a poor prognosis. We demonstrate that increased expression of EGFR enhanced its association with PI3K-C2beta following stimulation with EGF. Deletion of the first proline rich region within the N-terminus precluded recruitment of PI3K-C2beta to activated EGFR. Although deletion of the first proline rich motif also rendered the enzyme catalytically inactive, further deletions (residues 1-148 and 1-261) that removed the second and third proline rich motifs increased kinase activity. These data confirm a regulatory role for the N-terminus of class II PI3K enzymes suggesting that catalytic activity is regulated by factors that associate with this region during recruitment to activated growth factor receptors. Using an N-terminal PI3K-C2beta-GST fusion protein, clathrin heavy chain was affinity purified from A431 cell lysates. Association of PI3K-C2beta with clathrin was confirmed by co-immunoprecipitation from cell lysates while intracellular co-localisation of PI3K-C2beta and clathrin was confirmed by confocal microscopy. Our findings demonstrate for the first time that the PI3K-C2beta isoform associates with clathrin and thus provides a link between receptor mediated intracellular signalling and clathrin coated vesicle transport.

Abstract
In growth-factor-stimulated signal transduction, cell-surface receptors recruit PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases) and Ras-specific GEFs (guanine nucleotide-exchange factors) to the plasma membrane, where they produce 3'-phosphorylated phosphoinositide lipids and Ras-GTP respectively. As a direct example of pathway networking, Ras-GTP also recruits and activates PI3Ks. To refine the mechanism of Ras-PI3K cross-talk and analyse its quantitative implications, we offer a theoretical model describing the assembly of complexes involving receptors, PI3K and Ras-GTP. While the model poses the possibility that a ternary receptor-PI3K-Ras complex forms in two steps, it also encompasses the possibility that receptor-PI3K and Ras-PI3K interactions are competitive. In support of this analysis, experiments with platelet-derived growth factor-stimulated fibroblasts revealed that Ras apparently enhances the affinity of PI3K for receptors; in the context of the model, this suggests that a ternary complex does indeed form, with the second step greatly enhanced through membrane localization and possibly allosteric effects. The apparent contribution of Ras to PI3K activation depends strongly on the quantities and binding affinities of the interacting molecules, which vary across different cell types and stimuli, and thus the model could be used to predict conditions under which PI3K signalling is sensitive to interventions targeting Ras.

Abstract
We have examined the interaction of transforming growth factor (TGF)beta receptors with phosphatidylinositol 3-(PI3) kinase in epithelial cells. In COS7 cells, treatment with TGFbeta increased PI3 kinase activity as measured by the ability of p85-associated immune complexes to phosphorylate inositides in vitro. Both type I and type II TGFbeta receptors (TbetaR) associated with p85, but the association of TbetaRII appeared to be constitutive. The interaction of TbetaRI with p85 was induced by treatment with TGFbeta. The receptor association with PI3 kinase was not direct as (35)S-labeled rabbit reticulocyte p85 did not couple with fusion proteins containing type I and type II receptors. A kinase-dead, dominant-negative mutant of TbetaRII blocked ligand-induced p85-TbetaRI association and PI3 kinase activity. In TbetaRI-null R1B cells, TGFbeta did not stimulate PI3 kinase activity. This stimulation was restored upon reconstitution of TbetaRI by transfection. In R1B and NMuMG epithelial cells, overexpression of a dominant active mutant form of TbetaRI markedly enhanced ligand-independent PI3 kinase activity, which was blocked by the addition of the TbetaRI kinase inhibitor LY580276, suggesting a causal link between TbetaRI function and PI3 kinase. Overexpressed Smad7 also prevented ligand-induced PI3 kinase activity. Taken together, these data suggest that 1) TGFbeta receptors can indirectly associate with p85, 2) both receptors are required for ligand-induced PI3 kinase activation, and 3) the activated TbetaRI serine-threonine kinase can potently induce PI3 kinase activity.

Abstract
The class 1(A) phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase enzymes consist of a number of heterodimeric complexes of regulatory and catalytic subunits and have been implicated in a number of cellular responses. While platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-induced chemotaxis of human vascular smooth muscle cells (HVSMC) is inhibited by both wortmannin and LY294002, DNA synthesis is only inhibited by LY294002. Serum-induced DNA synthesis however is inhibited by LY294002, wortmannin and rapamycin. Similarly PDGF-induced protein kinase B (PKB) activation is inhibited by LY294002 but not by wortmannin or rapamycin. In conclusion PDGF-induced DNA synthesis appears to occur through a phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)-dependent, but wortmannin-insensitive, PKB/Akt pathway.

Abstract
Reelin is a large secreted signaling protein that binds to two members of the low density lipoprotein receptor family, the apolipoprotein E receptor 2 and the very low density lipoprotein receptor, and regulates neuronal positioning during brain development. Reelin signaling requires activation of Src family kinases as well as tyrosine phosphorylation of the intracellular adaptor protein Disabled-1 (Dab1). This results in activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K), the serine/threonine kinase Akt, and the inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3beta, a protein that is implicated in the regulation of axonal transport. Here we demonstrate that PI3K activation by Reelin requires Src family kinase activity and depends on the Reelin-triggered interaction of Dab1 with the PI3K regulatory subunit p85alpha. Because the Dab1 phosphotyrosine binding domain can interact simultaneously with membrane lipids and with the intracellular domains of apolipoprotein E receptor 2 and very low density lipoprotein receptor, Dab1 is preferentially recruited to the neuronal plasma membrane, where it is phosphorylated. Efficient Dab1 phosphorylation and activation of the Reelin signaling cascade is impaired by cholesterol depletion of the plasma membrane. Using a neuronal migration assay, we also show that PI3K signaling is required for the formation of a normal cortical plate, a step that is dependent upon Reelin signaling.

Abstract
Isoforms of the serine-threonine kinase Akt coordinate multiple cell survival pathways in response to stimuli such as platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF). Activation of Akt is a multistep process, which relies on the production of 3'-phosphorylated phosphoinositide (PI) lipids by PI 3-kinases. To quantitatively assess the kinetics of PDGF receptor/PI 3-kinase/Akt signaling in fibroblasts, a systematic study of this pathway was performed, and a mechanistic mathematical model that describes its operation was formulated. We find that PDGF receptor phosphorylation exhibits positive cooperativity with respect to PDGF concentration, and its kinetics are quantitatively consistent with a mechanism in which receptor dimerization is initially mediated by the association of two 1:1 PDGF/PDGF receptor complexes. Receptor phosphorylation is transient at high concentrations of PDGF, consistent with the loss of activated receptors upon endocytosis. By comparison, Akt activation responds to lower PDGF concentrations and exhibits more sustained kinetics. Further analysis and modeling suggest that the pathway is saturated at the level of PI 3-kinase activation, and that the p110alpha catalytic subunit of PI 3-kinase contributes most to PDGF-stimulated 3'-PI production. Thus, at high concentrations of PDGF the kinetics of 3'-PI production are limited by the turnover rate of these lipids, while the Akt response is additionally influenced by the rate of Akt deactivation.

Abstract
Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are implicated in many cellular responses controlled by receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), including actin cytoskeletal remodeling. Within this pathway, Rac is a key downstream target/effector of PI3K. However, how the signal is routed from PI3K to Rac is unclear. One possible candidate for this function is the Rac-activating complex Eps8-Abi1-Sos-1, which possesses Rac-specific guanine nucleotide exchange factor (GEF) activity. Here, we show that Abi1 (also known as E3b1) recruits PI3K, via p85, into a multimolecular signaling complex that includes Eps8 and Sos-1. The recruitment of p85 to the Eps8-Abi1-Sos-1 complex and phosphatidylinositol 3, 4, 5 phosphate (PIP3), the catalytic product of PI3K, concur to unmask its Rac-GEF activity in vitro. Moreover, they are indispensable for the activation of Rac and Rac-dependent actin remodeling in vivo. On growth factor stimulation, endogenous p85 and Abi1 consistently colocalize into membrane ruffles, and cells lacking p85 fail to support Abi1-dependent Rac activation. Our results define a mechanism whereby propagation of signals, originating from RTKs or Ras and leading to actin reorganization, is controlled by direct physical interaction between PI3K and a Rac-specific GEF complex.

Abstract
Previous studies in rat bile canalicular membrane vesicles and WIF-B9 cells revealed that cAMP-induced trafficking of ATP-binding cassette (ABC) transporters to the canalicular membrane and their activation require phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-K) products. In the present studies, canalicular secretion of fluorescein isothiocyanate-glycocholate in WIF-B9 cells was increased by cAMP and a decapeptide that enhances PI3-K activity; these effects were inhibited by wortmannin. To determine the mechanism(s) whereby cAMP activates PI3-K, we examined signal transduction pathways in WIF-B9 and COS-7 cells. cAMP activated PI3-K in both cell lines in a phosphotyrosine-independent manner. PI3-K activity increased in association with p110 beta in both cell lines. The effect of cAMP was KT-5720 sensitive, suggesting involvement of protein kinase A. Expression of a dominant-negative beta-adrenergic receptor kinase COOH terminus (beta-ARKct), which blocks G beta gamma signaling, decreased PI3-K activation in both cell lines. cAMP increased GTP-bound Ras in COS-7 but not WIF-B9 cells. Expression of dominant-negative Ras abolished cAMP-mediated PI3-K, which suggests that the effect is downstream of Ras and G beta gamma. These data indicate that cAMP activates PI3-K in a cell type-specific manner and provide insight regarding mechanisms of PI3-K activation required for bile acid secretion.

Abstract
Eight human isoforms of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) exist, but their individual functions remain poorly understood. Here, we show that different human small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC) cell lines overexpress distinct subsets of class I(A) and II PI3Ks, which results in striking differences in the signalling cascades activated by stem cell factor (SCF). Over expression of class I(A) p85/p110alpha in SCLC cells increased SCF-stimulated protein kinase B (PKB) activation and cell growth, but did not affect extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk) or glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3). This effect was selective, since it was not observed in SCLC cell lines overexpressing p85/p110beta or p85/p110delta. The SCF receptor associated with both class I(A) p85 and class II PI3KC2beta, and both enzymes contributed to SCF-stimulated PKB activity. A dominant-negative PI3KC2beta blocked both PKB activation and SCLC cell growth in response to SCF. Together our data provide novel insights into the specificity and functional significance of PI3K signalling in human cancer.

Abstract
While the role of the class IA phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) in insulin signaling is well established, little is known about the role of the class II PI 3-kinases. We show that insulin stimulation of intact rat soleus and epitrochlearis muscles causes a 3- to 4-fold increase in the activity of the wortmannin-resistant alpha isoform of the class II PI 3-kinase (PI3K-C2alpha). This activation is rapid and parallels the insulin-induced activation of the class IA PI 3-kinase associated with IRS-1 in these muscles. However, while contraction activated p38 Map kinase, it did not stimulate the activity of the class II PI 3-kinase. Therefore, activation of class II PI 3-kinase is unlikely to provide a mechanism that explains the fact that exercise-induced activation of glucose uptake is not blocked by wortmannin. However, the results suggest that activation of class II PI 3-kinase is likely to play a role in insulin signaling pathways in skeletal muscle.

Abstract
A diverse range of insulin-regulated cellular processes are dependent on class I(A) phosphatidylinositol 3-kinases (PI 3-Ks) and their association with and activation by up-stream signaling molecules. Here we report on the identification of the phosphoinositide 5'-kinase PIKfyve as a partner of class I(A) PI 3-K. Thus, both p85 and p110 subunits (class I(A)) of PI 3-Ks co-precipitated with anti-PIKfyve antibodies from lysates of resting 3T3-L1 adipocytes and, vice versa, PIKfyve co-precipitated with anti-p85 PI 3-K antibodies. Assignment to class I(A) PI 3-K enzymatic activity was further substantiated by the inhibition of PtdIns 3-P production in PIKfyve immune complexes by low concentrations of wortmannin and Triton X-100, and its preferences for Mg(2+) versus Mn(2+). Insulin but not PDGF or EGF stimulation of 3T3-L1 adipocytes markedly increased the PtdIns 3-P production (4.2-fold) in PIKfyve immune complexes, primarily as a result of increased PI 3-K intrinsic enzymatic activity. Intriguingly, while both insulin and PDGF caused an increase of class I(A) PI 3-K activity co-immunoprecipitated with tyrosine phosphorylated proteins, only insulin treatment yielded an activation of class I(A) PI 3-K in PIKfyve immune complexes. Studies aiming at identifying the underlying mechanism revealed that PIKfyve-class I(A) PI 3-K association and the insulin-induced activation likely operate independently of tyrosine phosphorylated insulin receptor substrate proteins. Together, these results establish PIKfyve as a novel source of activated class I(A) PI 3-K molecules that may be relevant in the insulin-signal transduction pathway.

Abstract
The ability of dopamine D(4) and D(2) receptors to activate extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) 1 and 2 was compared using Chinese hamster ovary (CHO-K1) cells transfected with D(4.2), D(4.4), D(4.7), and D(2L) receptors. Dopamine stimulation of D(4) or D(2L) receptors produced a transient, dose-dependent increase in ERK1/2 activity. Receptor-specific activation of the ERK mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway was confirmed using the D(2)-like receptor-selective agonist quinpirole, whereas the specific antagonist haloperidol blocked activation. MAPK stimulation was dependent on a pertussis-toxin-sensitive G protein (G(i/o)). trans-Activation of the platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor was an essential step in D(4) and D(2L) receptor-induced MAPK activation. PDGF receptor-selective tyrosine kinase inhibitors tyrphostin A9 and AG1295 abolished or significantly inhibited ERK1/2 activation by D(4) and D(2L) receptors. Dopamine stimulation of the D(4) receptor also produced a rapid increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of the PDGF receptor-beta. The Src-family tyrosine kinase inhibitor PP2 blocked MAPK activation by dopamine; however, this drug was also found to inhibit PDGF-BB-stimulated ERK activity and autophosphorylation of the PDGF receptor-beta. Downstream signaling pathways support the involvement of a receptor tyrosine kinase. The phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002, protein kinase C inhibitors GF109203X and Calphostin C, dominant-negative RasN17, and the MEK inhibitor PD98059 significantly attenuated or abolished activation of MAPK by dopamine D(4) and D(2L) receptors. Our results indicate that D(4) and D(2L) receptors activate the ERK kinase cascade by first mobilizing signaling by the PDGF receptor, followed by the subsequent activation of ERK1/2 by pathways associated with this receptor tyrosine kinase.

Abstract
The class II phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3K) PI3K-C2alpha and PI3K-C2beta are two recently identified members of the large PI3K family. Both enzymes are characterized by the presence of a C2 domain at the carboxy terminus and, in vitro, preferentially utilize phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylinositol 4-monophosphate as lipid substrates. Little is understood about how the catalytic activity of either enzyme is regulated in vivo. In this study, we demonstrate that PI3K-C2alpha and PI3K-C2beta represent two downstream targets of the activated epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor in human carcinoma-derived A431 cells. Stimulation of quiescent cultures with EGF resulted in the rapid recruitment of both enzymes to a phosphotyrosine signaling complex that contained the EGF receptor and Erb-B2. Ligand addition also induced the appearance of a second, more slowly migrating band of PI3K-C2alpha and PI3K-C2beta immunoreactivity on sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Since both PI3K enzymes can utilize Ca(2+) as an essential divalent cation in lipid kinase assays and since the catalytic activity of PI3K-C2alpha is refractory to the inhibitor wortmannin, these properties were used to confirm the recruitment of each PI3K isozyme to the activated EGF receptor complex. To examine this interaction in greater detail, PI3K-C2beta was chosen for further investigation. EGF and platelet-derived growth factor also stimulated the association of PI3K-C2beta with their respective receptors in other cells, including epithelial cells and fibroblasts. The use of EGF receptor mutants and phosphopeptides derived from the EGF receptor and Erb-B2 demonstrated that the interaction with recombinant PI3K-C2beta occurs through E(p)YL/I phosphotyrosine motifs. The N-terminal region of PI3K-C2beta was found to selectively interact with the EGF receptor in vitro, suggesting that it mediates the association of this PI3K with the receptor. However, the mechanism of this interaction remains unclear. We conclude that class II PI3K enzymes may contribute to the generation of 3' phosphoinositides following the activation of polypeptide growth factor receptors in vivo and thus mediate certain aspects of their biological activity.

Abstract
In recent years, a large family of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) isozymes has been characterized and cloned. Several of these PI3K enzymes have overlapping tissue distributions and it remains unclear if and how their 3-phosphoinositide products elicit differential, intracellular effects. One possibility is that the PI3K enzymes display a restricted distribution within the cell to produce their 3-phospholipid products in specific, subcellular compartments. In the present study we characterize the subcellular distribution of the novel class II PI3K isozyme PI3K-C2alpha in several mammalian cell types. Differential centrifugation of COS-1 and U937 cells together with Western blot analysis demonstrated that PI3K-C2alpha is constitutively associated with phospholipid membranes. Centrifugation of rat brain homogenates and Western blotting revealed that in contrast to the class IA PI3K enzymes, PI3K-C2alpha could be co-purified with a population of clathrin-coated vesicles (CCVs). Furthermore, a PI3K activity refractory to wortmannin treatment was detected in CCV preparations consistent with the presence of the PI3K-C2alpha isozyme. These biochemical observations were supported by immunofluorescence analysis that revealed PI3K-C2alpha to have a punctate distribution and an enrichment of immunoreactivity within a perinuclear site consistent with its presence in the endoplasmic reticulum or Golgi apparatus. Dual label immunofluorescence demonstrated that in this region, the distribution of PI3K-C2alpha closely paralleled that of gamma-adaptin, a component of the AP-1 adaptor that is present in the trans-Golgi and the trans-Golgi network (TGN) resident protein TGN-46. Neither the phospholipid association nor the subcellular localization of PI3K-C2alpha was dependent upon either its COOH-terminal PX or C2 domains. Mutants lacking these domains demonstrated a similar distribution to the wild type enzyme when expressed as recombinant proteins. Treatment of cells with brefeldin A disrupted the perinuclear staining pattern of both PI3K-C2alpha and the AP-1 complex demonstrating that the localization of both molecules at the TGN is dependent upon ADP-ribosylation factor GTPase activity.

Abstract
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) stimulates transcription of an immediate-early gene set in Balb/c 3T3 cells. One cohort of these genes, typified by c-fos, is induced within minutes following activation of PDGF receptors. A second cohort responds to PDGF only after a significant time delay, although induction is still a primary response to receptor activation as shown by "superinduction" in the presence of the protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. PDGF-receptor activated signaling pathways for the "slow" immediate-early genes are poorly resolved. Using gain-of-function mutations together with small molecule inhibitors of kinase activity, we show that activation of PI 3-kinase is both necessary and sufficient for the induction of the prototype slow immediate-early gene, monocyte chemoattractant-1 (MCP-1). Following activation of PDGF receptors, MCP-1 mRNA does not begin to accumulate for at least 90 min. However, only a brief (10 min) interval of PI 3-kinase activity is required to trigger this delayed response. The serine/threonine protein kinase, Akt/PKB, likely functions as a downstream affector of PI 3-kinase for this induction.

Abstract
Although accumulating evidence suggests that phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is a common signaling molecule for growth factor-induced amino acid uptake by the cell, the role of PI3K in the uptake of different amino acids was not tested under the same conditions. In this study, we asked whether PI3K mediates platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) -stimulated uptake of different amino acids that are taken up through 3 major amino acid transporters expressed in rat vascular smooth muscle cells and other cell types and whether PI3K mediates amino acid uptake stimulated with different growth factors and vasoactive substances. PDGF increased the uptake of [(3)H]leucine, [(3)H]proline, and [(3)H]arginine in a dose- and time-dependent fashion. Two different PI3K inhibitors, wortmannin (100 nmol/L) and LY294002 (10 micromol/L), completely inhibited the amino acid uptake stimulated by PDGF. Chinese hamster ovary cells expressing both PDGF receptor-beta and a dominant-negative PI3K did not increase their leucine uptake when stimulated with PDGF, whereas the same cells expressing only PDGF receptor-beta did. Transforming growth factor-beta, as well as insulin-like growth factor-I and angiotensin II, increased leucine uptake by vascular smooth muscle cells. Wortmannin and LY294002 inhibited this increase. We also found that transforming growth factor-beta stimulated PI3K activity and the phosphorylation of Akt, a downstream signaling molecule of PI3K. A similar effect of PI3K inhibitors on amino acid uptake was observed in Swiss 3T3 cells. We conclude that PI3K mediates the uptake of different amino acids by vascular smooth muscle cells and other cell types stimulated with a variety of growth factors, including transforming growth factor-beta. Our findings suggest that PI3K may play an important role in vascular pathophysiology by regulating amino acid uptake.

Abstract
We earlier developed a novel method to detect translocation of the glucose transporter (GLUT) directly and simply using c-MYC epitope-tagged GLUT (GLUTMYC). To define the effect of platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) on glucose transport in 3T3-L1 adipocytes, we investigated the PDGF- and insulin-induced glucose uptake, translocation of glucose transporters, and phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase activity in 3T3-L1, 3T3-L1GLUT4MYC, and 3T3-L1GLUT1MYC adipocytes. Insulin and PDGF stimulated glucose uptake by 9-10- and 5.5-6.5-fold, respectively, in both 3T3-L1 and 3T3-L1GLUT4MYC adipocytes. Exogenous GLUT4MYC expression led to enhanced PDGF-induced glucose transport. In 3T3-L1GLUT4MYC adipocytes, insulin and PDGF induced an 8- and 5-fold increase in GLUT4MYC translocation, respectively, determined in a cell-surface anti-c-MYC antibody binding assay. This PDGF-induced GLUT4MYC translocation was further demonstrated with fluorescent detection. In contrast, PDGF stimulated a 2-fold increase of GLUT1MYC translocation and 2.5-fold increase of glucose uptake in 3T3-L1GLUT1MYC adipocytes. The PDGF-induced GLUT4MYC translocation, glucose uptake, and PI 3-kinase activity were maximal (100%) at 5-10 min and thereafter rapidly declined to 40, 30, and 12%, respectively, within 60 min, a time when effects of insulin were maximal. Wortmannin (0.1 microM) abolished PDGF-induced GLUT4MYC translocation and glucose uptake in 3T3-L1GLUT4MYC adipocytes. These results suggest that PDGF can transiently trigger the translocation of GLUT4 and stimulate glucose uptake by translocation of both GLUT4 and GLUT1 in a PI 3-kinase-dependent signaling pathway in 3T3-L1 adipocytes.

Abstract
1. Interstitial fibroblast proliferation is an elemental feature in the development of cardiac fibrosis. The effects of inhibitors of the intracellular signalling proteins, MEK, a kinase involved in the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K), were tested on growth of cultured human cardiac fibroblasts. 2. Cardiac fibroblasts were isolated from transplant recipient myocardium and made quiescent by serum deprivation for 48 h. Cells were incubated for 24 h with the inhibitors PD 098059 (0.3-30 mumol/L) and LY294002 (1-25 mumol/L) in the presence and absence of platelet-derived growth factor-AB (PDGF-AB, 10 ng/mL). DNA synthesis was measured by [3H]-thymidine incorporation assay (20-24 h). 3. Both compounds markedly inhibited both basal and PDGF-stimulated increases in DNA synthesis in a concentration-dependent manner. Cardiac fibroblast DNA synthesis was reduced to near control levels by PD 098059, while it was inhibited completely by LY294002. 4. These results implicate the importance of MAPK and PI3-K activation in the signal transduction pathways necessary for cardiac fibroblast replication.

Abstract
Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol 3′-kinase (PI 3-kinase) catalyzes the formation of 3′ phosphoinositides and has been implicated in an intracellular signaling pathway that inhibits apoptosis in both neuronal and hemopoietic cells. Here, we investigated two potential downstream mediators of PI 3-kinase, the serine/threonine p70 S6-kinase (S6-kinase) and the antiapoptotic protein B cell lymphoma-2 (Bcl-2). Stimulation of factor-dependent cell progenitor (FDCP) cells with either IL-4 or insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I induced a 10-fold increase in the activity of both PI 3-kinase and S6-kinase. Rapamycin blocked 90% of the S6-kinase activity but did not affect PI 3-kinase, whereas wortmannin and LY294002 inhibited the activity of both S6-kinase and PI 3-kinase. However, wortmannin and LY294002, but not rapamycin, blocked the ability of IL-4 and IGF-I to promote cell survival. We next established that IL-3, IL-4, and IGF-I increase expression of Bcl-2 by >3-fold. Pretreatment with inhibitors of PI 3-kinase, but not rapamycin, abrogated expression of Bcl-2 caused by IL-4 and IGF-I, but not by IL-3. None of the cytokines affected expression of the proapoptotic protein Bax, suggesting that all three cytokines were specific for Bcl-2. These data establish that inhibition of PI 3-kinase, but not S6-kinase, blocks the ability of IL-4 and IGF-I to increase expression of Bcl-2 and protect promyeloid cells from apoptosis. The requirement for PI 3-kinase to maintain Bcl-2 expression depends upon the ligand that activates the cell survival pathway.

Abstract
The signaling pathways linking receptor activation to actin stress fiber rearrangements during growth factor-induced cell shape change are still to be determined. Recently our laboratory demonstrated the involvement of p70 S6 kinase (p70(s6k)) activation in thrombin-induced stress fiber formation in Swiss 3T3 cells. The present work shows that thrombin-induced p70(s6k) activation is inhibited by the PI 3-kinase inhibitors wortmannin and LY-294002. These inhibitors also significantly reduced thrombin-induced stress fiber formation, demonstrating a role for PI 3-kinase activity in this process, most likely upstream of p70(s6k). Furthermore, the p110alpha form of PI 3-kinase was localized to actin stress fibers, as was previously shown for p70(s6k), as well as to a golgi-like distribution. In contrast, PI 3-kinase p110gamma colocalized with microtubules. The PI 3-kinase p85 subunit, known to be capable of association with p110alpha, was present in a predominantly golgi-like distribution with no presence on actin filaments, suggesting the existence of distinctly localized PI 3-kinase pools. Immunodepletion of p85 from cell lysates resulted in only partial depletion of p110alpha and p110alpha-associated PI 3-kinase activity, confirming the presence of a p85-free p110alpha pool located on the actin stress fibers. Our data, therefore, point to the importance of subcellular localization of PI 3-kinase in signal transduction and to a novel action of p85 subunit-independent PI 3-kinase p110alpha in the stimulation by thrombin of p70(s6k) activation and actin stress fiber formation.

Abstract
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) are lipid kinases which also possess an in vitro protein kinase activity towards themselves or their adaptor proteins. The physiological relevance of these phosphorylations is unclear at present. Here, the protein kinase activity of the tyrosine kinase-linked PI3K, p110delta, is characterized and its functional impact assessed. In vitro autophosphorylation of p110delta completely down-regulates its lipid kinase activity. The single site of autophosphorylation was mapped to Ser1039 at the C-terminus of p110delta. Antisera specific for phospho-Ser1039 revealed a very low level of phosphorylation of this residue in cell lines. However, p110delta that is recruited to activated receptors (such as CD28 in T cells) shows a time-dependent increase in Ser1039 phosphorylation and a concomitant decrease in associated lipid kinase activity. Treatment of cells with okadaic acid, an inhibitor of Ser/Thr phosphatases, also dramatically increases the level of Ser1039-phosphorylated p110delta. LY294002 and wortmannin blocked these in vivo increases in Ser1039 phosphorylation, consistent with the notion that PI3Ks, and possibly p110delta itself, are involved in the in vivo phosphorylation of p110delta. In summary, we show that PI3Ks are subject to regulatory phosphorylations in vivo similar to those identified under in vitro conditions, identifying a new level of control of these signalling molecules.

Abstract
Rat 3Y1 cells have endogenous insulin-like growth factor-1 receptors and insulin receptor substrate (IRS)-2, but lack both insulin receptor (IR) and IRS-1. To investigate the role of IR and IRS-1 in effects of insulin, we transfected IR and IRS-1 expression plasmids into cells and reconstituted the insulin signaling pathways. 3Y1 cells stably expressing the c-myc epitope-tagged glucose transporter type 4 (3Y1-GLUT4myc) exhibit no effects of insulin, at physiological concentrations. The 3Y1-GLUT4myc-IR cells expressing GLUT4myc and IR responded to phosphatidylinositol 3,4, 5-trisphosphate (PI-3,4,5-P3) accumulation, Akt activation, the stimulation of DNA synthesis, and membrane ruffling but not to glycogen synthesis, glucose uptake, or GLUT4myc translocation. The further expression of IRS-1 in 3Y1-GLUT4myc-IR cells led to stimulation of glycogen synthesis but not to glucose uptake or GLUT4myc translocation in response to insulin, although NaF or phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate did trigger GLUT4myc translocation in the cells. These results suggest that, in rat 3Y1 cells, (i) IRS-1 is essential for insulin-stimulated glycogen synthesis but not for DNA synthesis, PI-3,4,5-P3 accumulation, Akt phosphorylation, or membrane ruffling, and (ii) the accumulation of PI-3,4,5-P3 and activation of Akt are insufficient for glycogen synthesis, glucose uptake or for GLUT4 translocation.

Abstract
Insulin plays a key role in regulating a wide range of cellular processes. However, until recently little was known about the signalling pathways that are involved in linking the insulin receptor with downstream responses. It is now apparent that the activation of class 1a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is necessary and in some cases sufficient to elicit many of insulin's effects on glucose and lipid metabolism. The lipid products of PI 3-kinase act as both membrane anchors and allosteric regulators, serving to localize and activate downstream enzymes and their protein substrates. One of the major ways these lipid products of PI 3-kinase act in insulin signalling is by binding to pleckstrin homology (PH) domains of phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase (PDK) and protein kinase B (PKB) and in the process regulating the phosphorylation of PKB by PDK. Using mechanisms such as this, PI 3-kinase is able to act as a molecular switch to regulate the activity of serine/threonine-specific kinase cascades important in mediating insulin's effects on endpoint responses.

Abstract
The generation of phosphatidylinositide 3-phosphates has been observed in a variety of cellular responses. The enzymes that mediate synthesis are the phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3-Ks) that form a family of structurally diverse enzymes with distinct substrate specificities. In this paper, we describe the cloning of a novel human PI3-K, namely PI3-K-C2 alpha, which contains a C-terminal C2 domain. This enzyme can be assigned to the class II PI3-Ks, which was defined by characterization of the Drosophila 68D enzyme and includes the recently described murine enzymes m-cpk and p170. Despite the overall similarity in the amino acid sequence of the murine and human enzymes, which suggests that they are encoded by closely related genes, these molecules show marked sequence heterogeneity at their N-termini. Biochemical analysis of recombinant PI3-K-C2 alpha demonstrates a restricted lipid substrate specificity. As reported for other members of this class, the enzyme only phosphorylates PtdIns and PtdIns4P when the lipids are presented alone. However, when lipids were presented together with phosphatidylserine acting as a carrier, phosphorylation of PtdIns(4,5)P2 was also observed. The catalytic activity of PI3-K-C2 alpha is refractory to concentrations of wortmannin and LY294002 which inhibit the PI3-K activity of other family members. The comparative insensitivity of PI3-K-C2 alpha to these inhibitors suggests that their use should be reevaluated in the study of PI3-Ks.

Abstract
Phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase is activated by various growth factors such as PDGF (platelet-derived growth factor) and insulin. The aim of the present study was to determine whether PDGF could modulate insulin activation of PI 3-kinase in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. When cells were preincubated for 5-15 min with PDGF, PI 3-kinase activity associated to insulin receptor substrate 1 (IRS 1) in response to insulin was decreased, due to reduced association of the PI 3-kinase p85 subunit with IRS 1. In addition, following this PDGF pretreatment, the tyrosine phosphorylation of IRS 1 in response to insulin and its electrophoretic mobility were diminished. The change in the mobility of IRS 1 could be attributed to PDGF-induced serine/threonine phosphorylation of the protein which was partly inhibited by PI 3-kinase inhibitors. By contrast, epidermal growth factor, which does not stimulate PI 3-kinase, had no effect on the association of PI 3-kinase with IRS 1 in response to insulin. This series of results indicates that the PDGF-induced serine/threonine phosphorylation of IRS 1 could be due to activation of PI 3-kinase pathway. Furthermore, this phosphorylation of IRS 1 is associated with a decrease in its tyrosine phosphorylation by insulin and in its association with the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase. This study suggests that a cross-talk exists between the different pathways stimulated by PDGF and insulin in intact cells.

Abstract
Acyl analogs of platelet-activating factor (PAF) (1-acyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, acylacetyl -GPC) are the predominant products synthesized during thrombin or ionophore A23187-mediated activation of endothelial cells. However, the biosynthetic pathway responsible for the production of acylacetyl-GPC is not well understood. In the present investigation, we have demonstrated that the acyl analogs of PAF are also the major products from calf pulmonary artery endothelial cells in response to a time-dependent stimulation of ATP (10(-3) M), bradykinin (10(-8) M), or ionophore A23187 (2 microM). In addition, we have found that the CoA-independent PAF:acyllyso-GPC transacetylase recently identified by us is concurrently and transiently induced with maximal 4-fold enhancement at 5 min and returned to near basal level by 10 min treatment of endothelial cells with ATP. Acid phosphatase reduces the increased PAF:acyllyso-GPC transacetylase activity from the homogenates of ATP-activated endothelial cells. Reduced PAF:acyllyso-GPC transacetylase activity can be restored by incubating the acid phosphatase-treated homogenates with ATP (5 mM) and Mg2+ (10 mM). Furthermore, okadaic acid, a protein phosphatase 1 and 2A inhibitor, incubated with endothelial cells in a dose-dependent manner (1-100 nM) for 10-min potentiates and sustained the stimulation of PAF:acyllyso-GPC transacetylase activity by ATP. On the other hand, genistein, tyrphostin-25 (inhibitors of tyrosine-specific protein kinase), and calphostin C (an inhibitor of protein kinase C) block the activation of PAF:acyllyso-GPC transacetylase by ATP. These results are consistent with the notion that ATP regulates the transacetylase activity by reversible activation and inactivation via the phosphorylation and dephosphorylation cycle. ATP also augments the activities of alkyllyso-GPC/acyllyso-GPC:acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase. However, the activation of the acetyltransferases precedes that of the transacetylase with peak activation occurring at 1-2 min of the ATP treatment. In addition, sodium vanadate, also an inhibitor of protein phosphatase, stimulates the increase in the incorporation of [3H]acetate into acyl[3H]acetyl-GPC of the ATP-treated endothelial cells. Collectively, our data show that both acetyltransferases and transacetylase participate in and contribute to the biosynthesis of acyl analogs of PAF in a coordinate fashion in endothelial cells.
