Increased levels of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity in colorectal tumors

Abstract

Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase), an enzyme that phosphorylates inositol phospholipids at the D-3 position of the inositol ring, has been implicated in the signaling pathways regulating cell growth by virtue of its activation in response to various mitogenic stimuli. In spite of the considerable attention PI 3-kinase has received with regard to its possible role in the mitogenic pathways in hematopoietic malignancies, there are few reports of investigations into PI 3-kinase activity in solid tumors. Colorectal tumor tissue and normal-appearing colonic mucosa from the same patients were homogenized and solubilized and adjusted to equal protein levels. PI 3-kinase then was immunoprecipitated from 200 microg of the solubilized tissue using a polyclonal antibody to the p85 subunit of PI 3-kinase. PI 3-kinase activity was assessed using phosphatidylinositol as the substrate and the assay product analyzed by thin-layer chromatography. Phosphorylation of phosphatidylinositol in the D-3 position was confirmed by high performance liquid chromatography analysis of deacylated and deglycerated products. Thirty-two of the 37 tumors tested (86%) demonstrated increased PI 3-kinase activity compared with normal-appearing mucosa from...Continue Reading
