Intranuclear 3'-phosphoinositide metabolism and Akt signaling: new mechanisms for tumorigenesis and protection against apoptosis?

Cellular Signalling
Alberto M MartelliLucio Cocco

Abstract

Lipid second messengers, particularly those derived from the polyphosphoinositide metabolism, play a pivotal role in multiple cell signaling networks. Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) generate 3'-phosphorylated inositol lipids that are key players in a multitude of cell functions. One of the best characterized targets of PI3K lipid products is the serine/threonine protein kinase Akt (protein kinase B, PKB). Recent findings have implicated the PI3K/Akt pathway in tumorigenesis because it stimulates cell proliferation and suppresses apoptosis. However, it was thought that this signal transduction network would exert its carcinogenetic effects mainly by operating in the cytoplasm. Evidence accumulated over the past 15 years has highlighted the presence of an autonomous nuclear inositol lipid cycle, and strongly suggests that lipid molecules are important components of signaling pathways operating at the nuclear level. PI3K, its lipid product phosphatidylinositol (3,4,5) trisphosphate (PtdIns(3,4,5)P3), and Akt have been identified within the nucleus and recent data suggest that they counteract apoptosis also by operating in this cell compartment through a block of caspase-activated DNase and inhibition of chromatin condensation.

Apoptosis in Cancer

Apoptosis is an important mechanism in cancer. By evading apoptosis, tumors can continue to grow without regulation and metastasize systemically. Many therapies are evaluating the use of pro-apoptotic activation to eliminate cancer growth. Here is the latest research on apoptosis in cancer.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.
