ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) plays an important role in tumorigenesis by cross-talking with several signaling pathways. p55PIK is a unique regulatory subunit of PI3K and contains an extra 24-residue N-terminal domain (N24). This study aimed to explore the interaction of p55PIK with p53 and the role of p55PIK in regulating p53-dependent apoptosis in cancer cells. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
The expression of p55PIK was detected in cancer cells, and the interaction of p55PIK with p53 was examined by immunoprecipitation and pull-down assay. The expression of p53-dependent apoptosis-related genes was detected by PCR.RESULTS:
N24 domain of p55PIK interacted with DNA-specific binding domain (DBD) of p53. The increase or decrease of p55PIK expression led to the change of the expression of p53 and p53-regulated genes in cancer cells. Moreover, N24 peptide led to the change of the expression of p53-regulated genes. Moreover, a membrane-permeable N24 peptide enhanced p53-dependent apoptosis induced by methyl methanesulfonate.CONCLUSION:
Our results reveal a novel mechanism that regulates p53-dependent apoptosis in cancer cells via p55PIK-p53 interaction.
