BackgroundThe phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase/protein kinase B (PI3K/Akt) signaling pathway is the most frequently mutated or overexpressed signaling abnormality in human cancer. PI3K is activated by a number of mechanisms, including growth factor receptors, integrins, and Ras, converting phosphatidylinositols to phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphates (Fig. 1). This action of PI3K is antagonized by the tumor suppressor phosphatase and tensin homologue. Akt (thymoma in AKR mouse) binds through its pleckstrin homology domain to phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate. Akt is phosphorylated and activated by phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase I and mammalian target of rapamycin/rictor. Heat shock protein 90 also binds to Akt to regulate Akt levels. Akt phosphorylates multiple downstream targets to modulate several cell functions.
