We have shown previously that human intestinal epithelial cell survival and anoikis are distinctively regulated according to the state of differentiation. Here we analyzed the roles of protein kinase B/Akt isoforms in such differentiation state distinctions. Anoikis was induced in undifferentiated and differentiated enterocytes by inhibition of focal adhesion kinase (Fak; pharmacologic inhibition or overexpression of dominant-negative mutants) or beta(1) integrins (antibody blocking) or by maintaining cells in suspension. Expression/ activation parameters of Akt isoforms (Akt-1, Akt-2, and Akt-3) and Fak were analyzed. Activity of Akt isoforms was also blocked by inhibition of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase or by overexpression of dominant-negative mutants. Here we report the following. 1) The expression/activation levels of Akt-1 increase overall during enterocytic differentiation, and those of Akt-2 decrease, whereas Akt-3 is not expressed. 2) Akt-1 activation is dependent on beta(1) integrins/Fak signaling, regardless of the differentiation state. 3) Akt-2 activation is dependent on beta(1) integrins/Fak signaling in undifferentiated cells only. 4) Activation of Akt-1 is phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase-dependent, whereas that of Akt-2 is not. 5) Akt-2 does not promote survival or apoptosis/anoikis. 6) Akt-1 is essential for survival. 7) Akt-2 cannot substitute for Akt-1 in the suppression of anoikis. Hence, the expression and regulation of Akt isoforms show differentiation state-specific distinctions that ultimately reflect upon their selective implication in the mediation of human intestinal epithelial cell survival. These data provide new insights into the synchronized regulation of cell survival/death that is required in the dynamic renewal process of tissues such as the intestinal epithelium.
