Regulation of Myocardial Contractility and Cell Size by Distinct PI3K-PTEN Signaling Pathways

Abstract: The PTEN/PI3K signaling pathway regulates a vast array of fundamental cellular responses. We show that cardiomyocyte-specific inactivation of tumor suppressor PTEN results in hypertrophy, and unexpectedly, a dramatic decrease in cardiac contractility. Analysis of double-mutant mice revealed that the cardiac hypertrophy and the contractility defects could be genetically uncoupled. PI3Kalpha mediates the alteration in cell size while PI3Kgamma acts as a negative regulator of cardiac contractility. Mechanisticall… Show more

“…The heart expresses three major Class 1 PI3K isoforms -PI3K, PI3K and PI3K (Crackower et al, 2002). Class IA and IB PI3Ks regulate metabolism, survival, and growth/differentiation in cells including cardiomyocytes (Cantley, 2002;Engelman et al, 2006).…”

“…Similarly, overexpression of PTEN inactivates Akt1 [40] and causes a reduction in cell size [41][42][43]. Conversely, expression of a dominant-negative mutant form of PTEN in the heart induces cardiac hypertrophy [44].…”

“…CTMP, as a pivotal target of AKT, also plays an important role in pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Although PTEN33 and CTMP are negative regulators of AKT, their roles are unexpectedly different in pathological cardiac hypertrophy induced by AB, which is associated with basal myocardial contractility33, 34 and molecular mechanisms in pathological cardiac hypertrophy. Intriguingly, PTEN33 and CTMP exert the same effect in pathological cardiac hypertrophy induced by AngII.…”
