A Function for Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase
(p85
-p110
) in Fibroblasts during Mitogenesis: Requirement for
Insulin- and Lysophosphatidic Acid-Mediated Signal
Transduction
(PI
3-K
) (p85
-p110
) is required for DNA synthesis induced by
various growth factors (S. Roche, M. Koegl, and S. A. Courtneidge, Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 91:9185-9189, 1994) in fibroblasts. In the
present study, we have investigated the function of PI 3-K
(p85
-p110
) during mitogenesis. By using antibodies specific to p110
we showed that PI 3-K
is expressed in NIH 3T3 cells. PI
3-K
and PI 3-K
have common features: PI 3-K
is tightly
associated with a protein serine kinase that phosphorylates p85
, it
interacts with the Src-middle T antigen complex and the activated
platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) receptor in fibroblasts in
vivo, and it becomes tyrosine phosphorylated after PDGF stimulation. PI
3-K
was also activated in Swiss 3T3 and Cos7 cells stimulated with
lysophosphatidic acid (LPA), a mitogen that interacts with a
heterotrimeric G protein-coupled receptor. In contrast PI 3-K
was
activated to a lesser extent in these cells. Microinjection of
neutralizing antibodies specific for p110
into quiescent
fibroblasts inhibited DNA synthesis induced by both insulin and LPA but
poorly affected PDGF receptor signaling. Therefore, PI 3-K
plays an
important role in transmitting the mitogenic response induced by some,
but not all, growth factors. Finally, we show that while oncogenic
V12Ras interacts with type I PI 3-Ks, it could induce DNA synthesis in
the absence of active PI 3-K
and PI 3-K
, suggesting that Ras uses
other effectors for DNA synthesis.
