| Abstract | One essential downstream signaling pathway of receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs), such as vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) and the Tie2 receptor, is the phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K)-phosphoinositide-dependent protein kinase 1 (PDK1)-Akt/protein kinase B (PKB) cascade that plays a critical role in development and tumorigenesis. However, the role of PDK1 in cardiovascular development remains unknown. Here, we deleted PDK1 specifically in endothelial cells in mice. These mice displayed hemorrhage and hydropericardium and died at approximately embryonic day 11.5 (E11.5). Histological analysis revealed defective vascular remodeling and development and disrupted integrity between the endothelium and trabeculae/myocardium in the heart. The atrioventricular canal (AVC) cushion and valves failed to form, indicating a defect in epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT), together with increased endothelial apoptosis. Consistently, ex vivo AVC explant culture showed impeded mesenchymal outgrowth. Snail protein was reduced and was absent from the nucleus in AVC cells. Delivery of the Snail S6A mutant to the AVC explant effectively rescued EMT defects. Furthermore, adenoviral Akt delivery rescued EMT defects in AVC explant culture, and deletion of PTEN delayed embryonic lethality of PDK1 endothelial deletion mice by 1 day and rendered normal development of the AVC cushion in the PDK1-deficient heart. Taken together, these results have revealed an essential role of PDK1 in cardiovascular development through activation of Akt and Snail. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
