Long-term p110α PI3K inactivation exerts a beneficial effect on metabolism

چکیده
The insulin/insulin-like growth factor-1 signalling (IIS) pathway regulates cellular and organismal metabolism and controls the rate of aging. Gain-of-function mutations in p110α, the principal mammalian IIS-responsive isoform of PI 3-kinase (PI3K), promote cancer. In contrast, loss-of-function mutations in p110α impair insulin signalling and cause insulin resistance, inducing a pre-diabetic state. It remains unknown if long-term p110α inactivation induces further metabolic deterioration over time, leading to overt unsustainable pathology. Surprisingly, we find that chronic p110α partial inactivation in mice protects from age-related reduction in insulin sensitivity, glucose tolerance and fat accumulation, and extends the lifespan of male mice. This beneficial effect of p110α inactivation derives in part from a suppressed down-regulation of insulin receptor substrate (IRS) protein levels induced by age-related hyperinsulinemia, and correlates with enhanced insulin-induced Akt signalling in aged p110α-deficient mice. This temporal metabolic plasticity upon p110α inactivation indicates that prolonged PI3K inhibition, as intended in human cancer treatment, might not negatively impact on organismal metabolism.

متن کاملBoth p110α and p110β isoforms of PI3K can modulate the impact of loss-of-function of the PTEN tumour suppressor
The PI3K (phosphoinositide 3-kinase) pathway is commonly activated in cancer as a consequence of inactivation of the tumour suppressor PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome 10), a major negative regulator of PI3K signalling. In line with this important role of PTEN, mice that are heterozygous for a PTEN-null allele (PTEN+/− mice) spontaneously develop a variety of tumours...
متن کاملPI3K p110β subunit in leptin receptor expressing cells is required for the acute hypophagia induced by endotoxemia
OBJECTIVE Hypophagia and increased energy expenditure under inflammatory conditions, such as that observed after bacterial lipopolysaccharide (LPS) administration, are associated with leptin secretion. The hypophagic effect of leptin depends in part on the activation of PI3K signaling pathway. However, the role of PI3K in the endotoxemia-induced hypophagia has not been determined. METHODS In ...
متن کاملInhibition of the p110α isoform of PI 3-kinase stimulates nonfunctional tumor angiogenesis
Understanding the direct, tumor cell-intrinsic effects of PI 3-kinase (PI3K) has been a key focus of research to date. Here, we report that cancer cell-extrinsic PI3K activity, mediated by the p110α isoform of PI3K, contributes in an unexpected way to tumor angiogenesis. In syngeneic mouse models, inactivation of stromal p110α led to increased vascular density, reduced vessel size, and altered ...
متن کاملEffects of acutely inhibiting PI3K isoforms and mTOR on regulation of glucose metabolism in vivo
In in vitro studies class-I PI3Ks (phosphoinositide 3-kinases), class-II PI3Ks and mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin) have all been described as having roles in the regulation of glucose metabolism. The relative role each plays in the normal signalling processes regulating glucose metabolism in vivo is less clear. Knockout and knockin mouse models have provided some evidence that the class-I ...
