Abstract:
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase enhancer-activating Akt (PIKE-A), which associates with and potentiates Akt activity, is a pro-oncogenic factor that play vital role in cancer cell survival and growth. However, PIKE-A physiological functions under energy/nutrient deficiency are poorly understood. The AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) is an evolutionarily conserved serine/threonine kinase that is a principal regulator of energy homeostasis and has a critical role in metabolic disorders and cancers. In this present study, we show that cellular energy stress induces PIKE-A phosphorylation mediated by AMPK activation, thereby preventing its carcinogenic action. Moreover, AMPK directly phosphorylates PIKE-A Ser-351 and Ser-377, which become accessible for the interaction with 14-3-3β, and in turn stimulates nuclear translocation of PIKE-A. Nuclear PIKE-A associates with CDK4 and then disrupts CDK4-cyclinD1 complex and inhibits the Rb pathway, resulting in cancer cell cycle arrest. Our data uncover a molecular mechanism and functional significance of PIKE-A phosphorylation response to cellular energy status mediated by AMPK.
