Phosphoinositide 3-kinase Akt signaling pathway interacts with protein kinase C beta 2 in the regulation of physiologic developmental hypertrophy and heart function. Am J Physiol Heart Circ Physiol 296: H566-H572, 2009. First published January 2, 2009; doi:10.1152/ajpheart.00562.2008.-The phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3-kinase)-protein kinase B (Akt) signaling pathway is essential in the induction of physiological cardiac hypertrophy. In contrast, protein kinase C beta 2 (PKC beta 2) is implicated in the development of pathological cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure. Thus far, no clear association has been demonstrated between these two pathways. In this study, we examined the potential interaction between the PI3-kinase and PKC beta 2 pathways by crossing transgenic mice with cardiac specific expression of PKC beta 2, constitutively active (ca) PI3-kinase, and dominant-negative (dn) PI3-kinase. In caPI3-kinase/PKC beta 2 and dnPI3-kinase/PKC beta 2 double-transgenic mice, the heart weight-to-body weight ratios and cardiomyocyte sizes were similar to those observed in caPI3-kinase and dnPI3-kinase transgenic mice, respectively, suggesting that the regulation of physiological developmental hypertrophy via modulation of cardiomyocyte size proceeds through the PI3-kinase pathway. In addition, we observed that caPI3-kinase/PKC beta 2 mice showed improved cardiac function while the function of dnPI3-kinase/PKC beta 2 mice was similar to that of the PKC beta 2 group. PKC beta 2 protein levels in both dnPI3-kinase/PKC beta 2 and PKC beta 2 mice were significantly upregulated. Interestingly, however, PKC beta 2 protein expression was significantly attenuated in caPI3-kinase/PKC beta 2 mice. PI3-kinase activity measured by Akt phosphorylation was not affected by PKC beta 2 overexpression. These data suggest a potential interaction between these two pathways in the heart, where PI3-kinase is predominantly responsible for the regulation of physiological developmental hypertrophy and may act as an upstream modulator of PKC beta 2 with the potential for rescuing the pathological cardiac dysfunction induced by overexpression of PKC beta.
