Abstract

Phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) is a key signaling enzyme implicated in receptor-stimulated mitogenesis, oxidative bursting in neutrophils, membrane ruffling, and glucose uptake. A PI3K has already been purified, cloned, and shown to be regulated by receptors that act via tyrosine kinase-dependent regulatory mechanisms. We report that an immunologically, pharmacologically, and chromatographically distinct form of PI3K activity present in neutrophils and U937 cells is specifically activated by G protein βγ subunits. This data suggests PI3Ks conform to the paradigm set by receptor regulation of phosphoinositidase Cs: different receptor transduction systems specifically regulate dedicated isoforms of effector protein.

      One of these mechanisms involves the phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K)/protein kinase B (AKT) signaling pathway [125]. PI3K is a family of lipid kinases in which PI3Kγ isoform is activated by the βγ subunits of Gi protein-coupled receptors, including the opioid receptors [126]. In this context, we tested the hypothesis that the PI3Kγ/AKT signaling would be the initial step involved in the stimulation of the NO pathway by morphine and/or other opioids [92].
