Abstract:
:The role of heteromeric phosphoinositide (PI) 3-kinase activity in insulin signal transduction was studied by investigating the effects of (i) overexpression of a dominant negative mutant p85 (delta p85) that lacks the binding site for p110 (delta p85-overexpressing cells) and (ii) inhibition of PI 3-kinase activity by wortmannin (wortmannin-treated cells). The insulin-induced association of PI 3-kinase activity with insulin receptor sustrate-1 (IRS-1) was inhibited in both wortmannin-treated cells and delta p85-overexpressing cells. However, whereas insulin-induced activation of p70 S6 kinase was completely abolished in wortmannin-treated cells, it appeared normal in delta p85-overexpressing cells. These results raise the possibility that a wortmannin-sensitive pathway independent of heteromeric PI 3-kinase is involved in the activation of p70 S6 kinase by insulin.
