In the present study we analyzed the role of phophatidylinositol-3
kinase (PI-3K) in B chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) cells.
PI-3K is activated by many stimuli and is linked to several different signaling pathways. We demonstrated that inhibition of PI-3K
by a specific inhibitor, LY294002, induced apoptosis in B-CLL cells in
vitro. This effect was specific for the inhibition of PI-3K because
inhibition of other signaling pathways such as extracellular
signaling-regulated kinase (ERK), p38, or p70S6 kinase did not affect
spontaneous apoptosis. Furthermore, PI-3K was constitutively activated
in freshly isolated B-CLL cells. Corresponding to enhanced
apoptosis, LY294002 down-regulated expression of the antiapoptotic
proteins X-linked inhibitor of apoptosis protein (XIAP) and
Mcl-1. Next, we investigated which factors downstream of PI-3K were
activated in B-CLL cells. We demonstrated that protein kinase B/Akt is
expressed in all tested CLL samples but no activation of Akt was
detected. In contrast, we observed a constitutive activation of protein
kinase C (PKC ) in freshly isolated B-CLL cells. PKC is linked
to PI-3K and is phosphorylated at Thr505 in response to PI-3K
activation. We further demonstrated that tyrosine phosphorylation and
activity of PKC were dependent on PI-3K activity in B-CLL cells.
Inhibition of PKC by the specific inhibitor Rottlerin
strikingly enhanced apoptosis. In contrast, peripheral blood B cells of
healthy donors were resistant to inhibition of PI-3K or PKC . We
conclude that activated PI-3K might be important in the pathogenesis of
B-CLL, and survival signals might be mediated via PKC . Therefore,
inhibition of PI-3K or PKC may be an innovative approach to treat
B-CLL.
