Inhibition of phosphoinositide 3-kinase attenuates allergic airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness in murine asthma model
P110 phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) plays a pivotal role in the recruitment and activation of certain inflammatory cells. Recent findings revealed that the activity of p110 also contributes to allergenIgE-induced mast cell activation and vascular permeability. We investigated the role of p110 in allergic airway inflammation and hyperresponsiveness using IC87114, a selective p110 inhibitor, in...
متن کاملReduced expression of the murine p85alpha subunit of phosphoinositide 3-kinase improves insulin signaling and ameliorates diabetes.
A critical component of insulin action is the enzyme phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase. The major regulatory subunits of PI 3-kinase, p85alpha and its splice variants, are encoded by the Pik3r1 gene. Heterozygous disruption of Pik3r1 improves insulin signaling and glucose homeostasis in normal mice and mice made insulin-resistant by heterozygous deletion of the Insulin receptor and/or insulin rece...
متن کاملDeletion of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase p110gamma gene attenuates murine atherosclerosis.
Inflammatory cell activation by chemokines requires intracellular signaling through phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase) and the PI3-kinase-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase Akt. Atherosclerosis is a chronic inflammatory process driven by oxidatively modified (atherogenic) lipoproteins, chemokines, and other agonists that activate PI3-kinase. Here we show that macrophage PI3-kinase/Ak...
متن کاملp84, a New Gβγ-Activated Regulatory Subunit of the Type IB Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase p110γ
A variety of genetic and inhibitor studies have shown that phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K ) plays an essential role in a number of physiological responses, including neutrophil chemotaxis, mast cell degranulation, and cardiac function [1–6]. PI3K is currently thought to be composed of a p110 catalytic subunit and a single regulatory subunit, p101. The binding of p110 to p101 dramatically incre...
متن کاملOncogenic transformation induced by the p 110 , - , and - isoforms of class I phosphoinositide 3 - kinase
Class I phosphoinositide 3-kinase contains four isoforms of the catalytic subunit, p110 , , , and . At physiological levels of expression, the wild-type p110 isoform lacks oncogenic potential, but gain-of-function mutations and overexpression of p110 are correlated with oncogenicity. The p110 , , and isoforms induce transformation of cultured cells as wild-type proteins. This oncogenic potentia...
