Phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3K) is critical player in cell proliferation and survival. The effects of LY294002 and wortmannin, inhibitors of PI3K, on nitric oxide (NO) production and inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) expression in lipoploysaccharide (LPS)-induced Raw 264.7 cells were investigated. Significant inhibition of LPS-induced protein kinase B (PKB, Akt) phosphorylation occurred at 25 mu M LY294002 or 0.5 mu M wortmannin. At the same concentrations, LY294002, but not wortmannin, significantly inhibited NO production and iNOS expression. LY303511, an inactive analogue of LY294002, also inhibited NO production and iNOS expression. In addition, LY294002 and LY303511 significantly inhibited the DNA binding activity of NF-kappa B and NF-kappa B dependent reporter gene expression. These results suggest that LY294002 inhibits iNOS expression at least in part via inhibition of NF-kappa B activation, independent of PI3K. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
