Small molecule inhibition of phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-triphosphate (PIP3) binding to pleckstrin homology domains.

ABSTRACT: The PI3-kinase (PI3K) pathway regulates many cellular processes, especially cell metabolism, cell survival, and apoptosis. Phosphatidylinositol-3,4,5-trisphosphate (PIP3), the product of PI3K activity and a key signaling molecule, acts by recruiting pleckstrin-homology (PH) domain-containing proteins to cell membranes. Here, we describe a new structural class of nonphosphoinositide small molecule antagonists (PITenins, PITs) of PIP3-PH domain interactions (IC(50) ranges from 13.4 to 31 ?M in PIP3/Akt PH domain binding assay). PITs inhibit interactions of a number of PIP3-binding PH domains, including those of Akt and PDK1, without affecting several PIP2-selective PH domains. As a result, PITs suppress the PI3K-PDK1-Akt pathway and trigger metabolic stress and apoptosis. A PIT-1 analog displayed significant antitumor activity in vivo, including inhibition of tumor growth and induction of apoptosis. Overall, our studies demonstrate the feasibility of developing specific small molecule antagonists of PIP3 signaling.

Project description:Background:Phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate [PI(4,5)P2] is an important regulator of several cellular processes and a precursor for other second messengers which are involved in cell signaling pathways. Signaling proteins preferably interact with PI(4,5)P2 through its pleckstrin homology (PH) domain. Efforts are underway to design small molecule-based antagonist, which can specifically inhibit the PI(4,5)P2/PH-domain interaction to establish an alternate strategy for the development of drug(s) for phosphoinositide signaling pathways. Methods:Surface plasmon resonance, molecular docking, circular dichroism, competitive Förster resonance energy transfer, isothermal titration calorimetric analyses and liposome pull down assay were used. Results:In this study, we employed 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl methanol containing small molecule (CIPs) as antagonists for PI(4,5)P2/PH-domain interaction and determined their inhibitory effect by using competitive-surface plasmon resonance analysis (IC50 ranges from 53 to 159 nM for PI(4,5)P2/PLC?1-PH domain binding assay). We also used phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate [PI(3,4,5)P3], phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2], PI(4,5)P2 specific PH-domains to determine binding selectivity of the compounds. Various physicochemical analyses showed that the compounds have weak affect on fluidity of the model membrane but, strongly interact with the phospholipase C ?1 (PLC?1)-PH domains. The 1,2,3-triazol-4-yl methanol moiety and nitro group of the compounds are essential for their exothermic interaction with the PH-domains. Potent compound can efficiently displace PLC?1-PH domain from plasma membrane to cytosol in A549 cells. Conclusions:Overall, our studies demonstrate that these compounds interact with the PIP-binding PH-domains and inhibit their membrane recruitment. General significance:These results suggest specific but differential binding of these compounds to the PLC?1-PH domain and emphasize the role of their structural differences in binding parameters. These triazole-based compounds could be directly used/further developed as potential inhibitor for PH domain-dependent enzyme activity.
