PTEN is a tumor suppressor mutated in a large variety of human tumor cells. It antagonizes the PI3K signaling pathway by dephosphorylating the PI (3, 4, 5) P3 at the 3 position of the inositol ring and plays an important role in cell growth, proliferation, survival and motility. 3-Deoxy-PI derivatives have cytotoxic activity against various human cancer cell lines by a mechanism thought to involve reduced Akt1 phosphorylation. However, these molecules could act as inhibitors of PTEN. A series of D-3-deoxy-PI derivatives and their enantiomers (3-deoxy-diC8PI, 3, 5-dideoxy-diC8PI and diC8PI) had been synthesized and studied as inhibitors of PTEN catalyzed hydrolysis of PI (3) P substrates. With diC8PI (3) P as the substrate, the L-enantiomers are usually not as good inhibitors as the D-compounds, although there is an increase in potency with increasing deoxygenation. The short-chain lipids exist in the assay solution as a mix of mostly monomers but with some small micelles. By using D-diC16PI (3) P as the substrates, the effect of the aggregation state of the substrates was also checked. When the substrates are presented to PTEN in micelles with TX-100, none of the 3-deoxy-PI derivatives are good inhibitors. However, when the substrates are presented in large unilamellar vesicles, the inhibitory behavior of the 3-deoxy-PI derivatives is similar to what was observed in the diC8PI (3) P monomer/micelle system. The binding behavior of PTEN to PI vesicles in the presence of the deoxy-PI analogs has also been studied using FRET. The results showed that for the L-series, deoxygenation on the inositol head group increases the potency of enhancing the protein binding to the vesicles. In this case, L-3, 5-dideoxy-diC8PI can enhance binding by 50% at the lower concentration, while L-diC8PI can only enhance binding at the high concentration larger than 1mM. These results are used to assess lipid binding sites in PTEN.2274-Pos Board B244 The role of Kallikrein-kinin System in the Immune Response of Nasal Papilloma and Adventitious Sinusitis Nurali Q. Muhamadiev1, Botir B. Mahmudov2. 1Samarkand State University, Samarkand, Uzbekistan, 2Samarkand State Medical Institute, Samarkand, Uzbekistan. The work was dedicated to study the possible interconnection between the enzymatic activity of kallikrein-kinin system and the activation of immune response of benign nasal papilloma and adventitious sinusitis. 64 patients with nasal papilloma and adventitious sinusitis have been examined for the enzymatic activity of kallikrein-kinin system and for the cellular and humoral immune responses, as well as 20 healthy. The enzymatic activity of kallikrein-kinin system and antibody response were investigated by using the sera or plasma samples. Cellular immune response was evaluated by analyzing of T-lymphocytes, B-lymphocytes and O-lymphocytes. Comparative analysis of kallikrein activity and cellular immune response showed that elevation of kallikrein activity was well correlated with activation of T-lymphocytes (rº0. 896) and T-supressors (rº0. 975), indicating that the activity of kallikrein may be important in modulation of T-cell response. In contrast, activation of kallikrein-kinin system was not associated with induction of B-lymphocytes (rº0. 578), T-helpers (rº0. 694) and O-lymphocytes (rº0. 569). Analysis of kallikrein activity and humoral immune response in the same study group showed that induction of kallikrein-kinin system was associated with substantial elevation of IgA (rº0. 785), in contrast to lower level of IgG and IgM expression. It is also revealed that there is a high correlation between kininase activity and the indices of B-lymphocytes (rº0. 768 …
