Mechanism of two classes of cancer mutations in the phosphoinositide 3-kinase catalytic subunit.
Many human cancers involve up-regulation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase PI3Kalpha, with oncogenic mutations identified in both the p110alpha catalytic and the p85alpha regulatory subunits. We used crystallographic and biochemical approaches to gain insight into activating mutations in two noncatalytic p110alpha domains-the adaptor-binding and the helical domains. A structure of the adaptor-bi...
متن کاملp85β phosphoinositide 3-kinase subunit regulates tumor progression.
PIK3R2 encodes a ubiquitous regulatory subunit (p85β) of PI3K, an enzyme that generates 3-polyphosphoinositides at the plasma membrane. PI3K activation triggers cell survival and migration. We found that p85β expression is elevated in breast and colon carcinomas and that its increased expression correlates with PI3K pathway activation and tumor progression. p85β expression induced moderate PIP(...
متن کاملEffects of oncogenic p110alpha subunit mutations on the lipid kinase activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
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...
متن کاملMiR-125b inhibits tumor growth and promotes apoptosis of cervical cancer cells by targeting phosphoinositide 3-kinase catalytic subunit delta.
BACKGROUND [corrected] microRNAs (miRNAs) are involved in cancer-related processes. The miRNA-125b (miR-125b) has been identified as miRNA over-expressed in a wide variety of cancers. However, the role of miR-125b in the context of cervical carcinoma remains unknown. METHODS In this study, the effect of miR-125b on the proliferation and apoptosis of human cervical cells was analyzed by MTT as...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Imaging of Phosphoinositide-3-Kinase-Catalytic-Subunit-Alpha (PIK3CA) Promoter Modulation in Small Animal Models
Activation of the PI3K/Akt pathway, a critical step for survival in cancer cells is often associated with decreased sensitivity to several chemotherapeutic drugs. PIK3CA gene amplification is observed in 16-24% of epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients in conjunction with p53 mutations. A 900 bp long PIK3CA promoter is shown to be negatively regulated by p53 in ovarian surface epithelial cell...
