Mouse gene targeting studies have documented a central role of the p110 isoform of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in B cell development and function. A defect in B cell antigen receptor (BCR) signalling is key to this B cell phenotype. Here we further characterise this signalling defect and report that a p110-selective small molecule inhibitor mirrors the effect of genetic inactivation of p110 in BCR signalling. p110 activity is indispensable for BCR-induced DNA synthesis and phosphorylation of Akt/protein kinase B (PKB), forkhead transcription factor/forkhead box O3a (FOXO3a) and p70 S6 kinase (p70 S6K), with modest effects on the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase 3/ (GSK3/) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (Erk). The PI3K-dependent component of intracellular calcium mobilisation also completely relies on p110-catalytic activity. Resting B cells with inactive p110 fail to enter the cell cycle, correlating with an incapacity to upregulate the expression of cyclin D2, A and E and to phosphorylate the retinoblastoma protein (Rb). p110 is also critical for interleukin 4 (IL4)-induced phosphorylation of Akt/PKB and FOXO3a, and protection from apoptosis. Taken together, these data show that defects observed in p110 mutant mice are not merely a consequence of altered B cell differentiation, and emphasise the potential utility of p110 as a drug target in auto-immune diseases in which B cells play a crucial role.
