PI3K/Akt signaling transduction pathway, erythropoiesis and glycolysis in hypoxia (Review).

ABSTRACT: The purpose of this review is to summarize the research progress of PI3K/Akt signaling pathway in erythropoiesis and glycolysis. Phosphatidylinositol?4,5?bisphosphate 3?kinase (PI3K) is activated by numerous genes and leads to protein kinase B (Akt) binding to the cell membrane, with the help of phosphoinositide?dependent kinase, in the PI3K/Akt signal transduction pathway. Threonine and serine phosphorylation contribute to Akt translocation from the cytoplasm to the nucleus and further mediates enzymatic biological effects, including those involved in cell proliferation, apoptosis inhibition, cell migration, vesicle transport and cell cancerous transformation. As a key downstream protein of the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, hypoxia?inducible factor (HIF)?1 is closely associated with the concentration of oxygen in the environment. Maintaining stable levels of HIF?1 protein is critical under normoxic conditions; however, HIF?1 levels quickly increase under hypoxic conditions. HIF?1? is involved in the acute hypoxic response associated with erythropoietin, whereas HIF?2? is associated with the response to chronic hypoxia. Furthermore, PI3K/Akt can reduce the synthesis of glycogen and increase glycolysis. Inhibition of glycogen synthase kinase 3? activity by phosphorylation of its N?terminal serine increases accumulation of cyclin D1, which promotes the cell cycle and improves cell proliferation through the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. The PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is closely associated with a variety of enzymatic biological effects and glucose metabolism.

Project description:BackgroundMandibular distraction osteogenesis (MDO) is a kind of endogenous tissue engineering technology that lengthens the jaw and opens airway so that a patient can breathe safely and comfortably on his or her own. Endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) are crucial for MDO-related angiogenesis. Moreover, emerging evidence suggests that heat shock protein 20 (Hsp20) modulates angiogenesis under hypoxic conditions. However, the specific role of Hsp20 in EPCs, in the context of MDO, is not yet known. The aim of this study was to explore the expression of Hsp20 during MDO and the effects of Hsp20 on EPCs under hypoxia.MethodsMandibular distraction osteogenesis and mandibular bone defect (MBD) canine model were established. The expression of CD34, CD133, HIF-1α, and Hsp20 in callus was detected by immunofluorescence on day 14 after surgery. Canine bone marrow EPCs were cultured, with or without optimal cobalt chloride (CoCl2) concentration. Hypoxic effects, caused by CoCl2, were evaluated by means of the cell cycle, cell apoptosis, transwell cell migration, and tube formation assays. The Hsp20/KDR/PI3K/Akt expression levels were evaluated via immunofluorescence, RT-qPCR, and western blot. Next, EPCs were incorporated with either Hsp20-overexpression or Hsp20-siRNA lentivirus. The resulting effects were evaluated as described above.ResultsCD34, CD133, HIF-1α, and Hsp20 were displayed more positive in the callus of MDO compared with MBD. In addition, hypoxic conditions, generated by 0.1 mM CoCl2, in canine EPCs, accelerated cell proliferation, migration, tube formation, and Hsp20 expression. Hsp20 overexpression in EPCs significantly stimulated cell proliferation, migration, and tube formation, whereas Hsp20 inhibition produced the opposite effect. Additionally, the molecular mechanism was partly dependent on the KDR/PI3K/Akt pathway.ConclusionIn summary, herein, we present a novel mechanism of Hsp20-mediated regulation of canine EPCs via Akt activation in a hypoxic microenvironment.

Project description:Purpose:Previous studies have reported that FOXO6 is highly expressed in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and is associated with the prognosis of HCC patients. However, little research has been carried out to explore the role of FOXO6 in glycolysis of HCC cells and paclitaxel resistance. Today, along with the increasing incidence and mortality of HCC, chemotherapy resistance of HCC also poses a serious challenge. Therefore, this study was set out to investigate the effect of FOXO6 on glycolysis and cytotoxicity of paclitaxel in HCC cells and its potential mechanism. Patients and Methods:The levels of FOXO6 mRNA and protein were detected by qRT-PCR and Western blot, respectively. In addition, paclitaxel-resistant cell lines of HCC cells were established, whose activity was assessed by CCK-8 assay, among which the invasion ability was assessed by Transwell and the apoptosis rate by flow cytometry. What is more, glycolysis levels were evaluated by measuring glucose consumption and lactic acid production, and the protein levels of p-PI3K and p-protein kinase B (Akt) were determined by Western blot. Results:Compared with normal human hepatocytes, FOXO6 was highly expressed in HCC cells, which was of high real value for HCC. FOXO6 knockdown inhibited the proliferation and invasion and induced apoptosis of HCC cells. In addition, FOXO6 knockdown suppressed glycolysis, reversed resistance to chemotherapy in Hep3B/PTX cells and inactivated PI3K and Akt proteins, thus inhibiting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway. Furthermore, it was found that when activated by 740Y-P, PI3K/Akt signaling pathway could resist the effects of FOXO6 knockdown on the cytotoxicity and glycolysis of paclitaxel in HCC cells. Vice versa, inhibition of PI3K/Akt pathway by LY294002 could resist the effect of FOXO6 overexpression on chemotherapy, cytotoxicity and glycolysis of HCC cells. Conclusion:FOXO6 knockdown can inhibit glycolysis of HCC cells and reduce their resistance to chemotherapy by inhibiting the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway, which may be a new target for the treatment of HCC.

Project description:BackgroundThe protein tyrosine phosphatase H receptor (PTPRH) is known to regulate the occurrence and development of pancreatic and colorectal cancer. However, its association with glycolysis in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is still unclear. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between PTPRH expression and glucose metabolism and the underlying mechanism of action.MethodsThe expression of PTPRH in NSCLC cells was evaluated by IHC staining, qRT‒PCR and Western blotting. The effect of PTPRH on cell biological behavior was evaluated by colony assays, EdU experiments, Transwell assays, wound healing assays and flow cytometry. Changes in F-18-fluorodeoxyglucose (18F-FDG) uptake and glucose metabolite levels after altering PTPRH expression were detected via a gamma counter and lactic acid tests. The expression of glycolysis-related proteins in NSCLC cells was detected by Western blotting after altering PTPRH expression.ResultsThe results showed that PTPRH was highly expressed in clinical patient tissue samples and closely related to tumor diameter and clinical stage. In addition, PTPRH expression was associated with glycometabolism indexes on 18F-FDG positron emission tomography/computed tomography (PET/CT) imaging, the expression level of Ki67 and the expression levels of glycolysis-related proteins. PTPRH altered cell behavior, inhibited apoptosis, and promoted 18F-FDG uptake, lactate production, and the expression of glycolysis-related proteins. In addition, PTPRH modulated the glycometabolism of NSCLC cells via the phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling pathway, as assessed using LY294002 and 740Y-P (an inhibitor and agonist of PI3K, respectively). The same results were validated in vivo using a xenograft tumor model in nude mice. Protein expression levels of PTPRH, glycolysis-related proteins, p-PI3K/PI3K and p-AKT/AKT were measured by IHC staining using a subcutaneous xenograft model in nude mice.ConclusionsIn summary, we report that PTPRH promotes glycolysis, proliferation, migration, and invasion via the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway in NSCLC and ultimately promotes tumor progression, which can be regulated by LY294002 and 740Y-P. These results suggest that PTPRH is a potential therapeutic target for NSCLC.

Project description:BackgroundLINC00941 has been proved to be related to various tumors, but its relationship with laryngocarcinoma remains vague.MethodsLINC00941 expression in laryngocarcinoma tumor and laryngocarcinoma cells was determined by real time-quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR). Besides, the five-year survival of laryngocarcinoma patients with different LINC00941 expression was analyzed with Kaplan-Meier survival analysis, and the clinical characteristics of laryngocarcinoma patients were also recorded. After transfection, cell viability, cell proliferation, apoptosis, cell cycle, migration, and invasion were detected by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8), colony formation, flow cytometry, cell scratch, and Transwell assays, respectively. Glycolysis was assessed by the colorimetric method. Expressions of proliferation-associated proteins, migration-associated proteins, glycolysis-associated proteins, and phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/AKT/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signal pathway-associated proteins were detected by Western blot.ResultsIn laryngocarcinoma tumor tissues and cells, LINC00941 was highly expressed. High expression of LINC00941 decreased the 5-year survival of laryngocarcinoma patients, and it was positively related to lymph node metastasis and clinical stages. LINC00941 overexpression decreased apoptosis but promoted cell viability, proliferation, cell-cycle progression, migration, and invasion, and glucose consumption and lactate production in laryngocarcinoma cells. Moreover, LINC00941 overexpression elevated expressions of Ki-67, PCNA, MMP2, N-Cadherin, HK2, PFKFB4, and PKM, activated the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signal pathway but reduced E-Cadherin expression, while LINC00941 silencing had the opposite effects. PKM overexpression reversed the effects of LINC00941 silencing on cellular and glycolytic phenotypes.ConclusionLINC00941 promoted in vitro progression and glycolysis of laryngocarcinoma cells by upregulating PKM via activating the PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway.
