Protein kinase B (c-Akt): a multifunctional mediator of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activation.
While a plethora of extracellular molecules exist that modulate cellular functions via binding to membrane receptors inside the cell, their actions are mediated by relatively few signalling mechanisms. One of these is activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI-3K), which results in the generation of a membrane-restricted second messenger, polyphosphatidylinositides containing a 3'-phosphat...
متن کاملberberine induced apoptosis of human osteosarcoma cells by inhibiting phosphoinositide 3 kinase/protein kinase b (pi3k/akt) signal pathway activation
background: osteosarcoma is a malignant tumor with high mortality but effective therapy has not yet been developed. berberine, an isoquinoline alkaloid component in several chinese herbs including huanglian, has been shown to induce growth inhibition and the apoptosis of certain cancer cells. the aim of this study was to determine the role of berberine on human osteosarcoma cell lines u2os and ...
متن کاملMyogenic signaling of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase requires the serine-threonine kinase Akt/protein kinase B.
The oncogene p3k, coding for a constitutively active form of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), strongly activates myogenic differentiation. Inhibition of endogenous PI 3-kinase activity with the specific inhibitor LY294002, or with dominant-negative mutants of PI 3-kinase, interferes with myotube formation and with the expression of muscle-specific proteins. Here we demonstrate that ...
متن کاملInsulin activation of the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B (Akt) pathway reduces lipopolysaccharide-induced inflammation in mice.
Insulin is used to control pro-inflammatory hyperglycemia in critically ill patients. However, recent studies suggest that insulin-induced hypoglycemia may negate its beneficial effects in these patients. It is noteworthy that recent evidence indicates that insulin has anti-inflammatory effects that are independent of controlling hyperglycemia. To date, the mechanism by which insulin directly r...
متن کاملInhibition of Rho-kinase leads to rapid activation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase Akt and cardiovascular protection.
OBJECTIVE Rho-kinase activity is increased in cardiovascular diseases and in patients with cardiovascular risk factors. However, it is not known whether inhibition of Rho-kinase could lead to cardiovascular protection and, if so, by what mechanism. METHODS AND RESULTS In human endothelial cells, the Rho-kinase inhibitor, hydroxyfasudil (HF) (1 to 100 micromol/L), increased Akt serine-473 phos...
