Akt is activated by growth factors to regulate various aspects of vascular smooth muscle cell function. Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) and insulin-like growth factor-1 activated Akt in vascular smooth muscle cells with a rapid reduction of total Akt protein that lasted for several hours. The downregulation of Akt required phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase activity, but not intrinsic Akt activity. The downregulation of Akt was abrogated by MG-132, a proteasome inhibitor, but not by inhibitors of calpain or cathepsins. Akt was found in ubiquitin immune complex after PDGF treatment. Proteasome-dependent degradation of Akt may provide a counter-regulatory mechanism against overactivation of Akt. (C) 2003 Federation of European Biochemical Societies. Published by Elsevier B.V.
