Rapid activation of protein kinase B/Akt has a key role in antiapoptotic signaling during liver regeneration.

Abstract:

:Liver regeneration is controlled by multiple signaling pathways induced by a variety of growth factors, hormones, and cytokines. Here we report that protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt, part of a key cell survival signaling pathway, is markedly activated after partial hepatectomy (PHX). The antiapoptotic protein Bad, a downstream target of PKB/Akt, is also phosphorylated. This cascade can be activated by various factors in primary hepatocytes, with the strongest activation by insulin and the alpha1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine (PE), followed by IL-6, epidermal growth factor (EGF), and hepatocyte growth factor (HGF). Pretreatment of cells with the specific PI3 kinase inhibitor LY294002 abolished insulin- or PE-activation of PKB/Akt, suggesting that activation of PKB/Akt is mediated by a PI3 kinase-dependent mechanism. In vivo administration of PE, insulin, IL-6, HGF, or EGF to mice markedly stimulated PKB/Akt in the liver, with the strongest stimulation induced by insulin and PE. Moreover, HGF and insulin were able to attenuate transforming growth factor beta-induced apoptosis in hepatic cells, and these effects were antagonized by LY294002. Taken together, these findings suggest that rapid activation of PKB/Akt is a key antiapoptotic signaling pathway involved in liver regeneration.
