The Phosphoinositide-3-kinase (PI3K) pathway regulates cell proliferation, survival and migration and is consequently of great interest for targeted cancer therapy. Using a panel of small molecule PI3K isoform-selective inhibitors in a diverse set of breast cancer cell lines, we demonstrate that the biochemical and biological responses were highly variable and dependent on the genetic alterations present. p110α inhibitors were generally effective in inhibiting the phosphorylation of Akt and S6, two downstream components of PI3K signaling, in most cell lines examined. In contrast, 110β selective inhibitors only reduced Akt phosphorylation in PTEN mutant cell lines, and was associated with a lesser decrease in S6 phosphorylation. PI3K inhibitors reduced cell viability by causing a cell cycle arrest in the G1 phase of the cell cycle, with multi-targeted inhibitors causing the most potent effects. Cells expressing mutant Ras were resistant to the cell cycle effects of PI3K inhibition, which could be reversed using inhibitors of Ras signaling pathways. Taken together our data indicates that these compounds, alone or in suitable combinations, may be useful as breast cancer therapeutics, when used in appropriate genetic contexts.
