The Phosphoinositide 3-Kinase Regulatory Subunit p85α Can Exert Tumor Suppressor Properties through Negative Regulation of Growth Factor Signaling
8 Jun 2010
Abstract excerpt
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) plays a critical role in tumorigenesis, and the PI3K p85 regulatory subunit exerts both positive and negative effects on signaling. Expression of Pik3r1, the gene encoding p85, is decreased in human prostate, lung, ovarian, bladder, and liver cancers, consistent with the possibility that p85 has tumor suppressor properties. We tested this hypothesis by studying mice with a...
