The oncogene p3k, coding for a constitutively active form of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase; EC 2.7.1.137), strongly enhances myogenic differentiation in cultures of chicken-embryo myoblasts. It increases the size of the myotubes and induces elevated levels of the muscle-specific proteins MyoD, myosin heavy chain, creatine kinase, and desmin. Inhibition of PI 3-kinase activity with LY294002 or with dominant-negative mutants of PI 3-kinase interferes with myogenic differentiation and with the induction of muscle-specific genes. PI 3-kinase is therefore an upstream mediator for the expression of the muscle-specific genes and is both necessary and rate-limiting for the process of myogenesis.
致癌基因p3k编码一种组成型活性形式的磷脂酰肌醇3激酶(PI 3激酶;EC 2.7.1.137),它能显著增强鸡胚成肌细胞培养物中的肌源性分化。它增加了肌管的大小,并诱导肌肉特异性蛋白MyoD、肌球蛋白重链、肌酸激酶和结蛋白的水平升高。用LY294002或PI 3激酶的显性负性突变体抑制PI 3激酶活性会干扰肌源性分化以及肌肉特异性基因的诱导。因此,PI 3激酶是肌肉特异性基因表达的上游介质,对于肌生成过程既是必需的也是限速的。
