| Abstract | The continual activation of signaling cascades results in dramatic consequences that include loss of cellular growth control and neoplastic transformation. We show here that phosphoinositide 3-kinase and its mediator Akt was constitutively activated in glioma and that this might be due to the aberrant expression of their natural antagonist PTEN. The PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homologue deleted on chromosome ten) tumor suppressor gene modulates cell growth and survival through mechanisms that are incompletely understood. In this study, we investigated the possibility that PTEN mediates its effects through modulation of transcription factor AP-1, which is in part due to decrease in c-fos expression which was dependent on PI3kinase activity. Consistent with a reduction in the c-fos levels, an AP-1 dependent reporter gene was poorly induced in the PTEN expressing cell lines. In contrast to its effect on c-fos, PTEN did not affect the expression of c-Jun and other fos family members. We also show that the effect of PTEN on c-fos expression was due to its ability to antagonize PI3-kinase and could be mimicked by the expression of dominant negative Akt mutant. Taken together, these data indicate that the aberrant expression of PTEN contributes to the activation of the PI3kinase/Akt pathway and its transcription factor mediators in glioma. We conclude that the ectopic expression of PTEN down regulates the proliferation of glioma cells through the suppression of AP-1 and that this target might be essential for its central role in the growth and survival of glioma cancer cells. |

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.
