did not augment the abundance of NF-
B, but led to phosphorylation of
the NF-
B subunit p65 and induced a nuclear activity capable of
phosphorylating a p65-GST fusion construct in the carboxy-terminal
transactivation domain (TAD), residues 354-551. We now present
evidence for the involvement of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in
this pathway. Pretreatment of HT1080-derived fibrosarcoma cells with
pharmacological inhibitors of PI3K (wortmannin or LY294002) selectively
inhibited IFN-
-induced
-R1 mRNA accumulation in a
dose-dependent manner. In stably transfected cell lines,
bovine p85, the regulatory subunit of PI3K, functioned as a
dominant-negative inhibitor of interferon (IFN) signaling via PI3K and
selectively suppressed IFN-
-mediated induction of
-R1. Overexpression of PTEN (phosphatase and
tensin homologue mutated on chromosome ten), an
antagonist of PI3K, blocked induction of a
-R1
promoter-reporter construct. Studies with PTEN mutants suggested that
the lipid kinase activity of PI3K was essential for IFN-
-induced
transcription of
-R1. Consistent with this finding, a
dominant-negative mutant of the serine-threonine kinase Akt, a
downstream effector of PI3K, selectively blocked IFN-
-mediated
induction of the
-R1 promoter reporter. Furthermore, IFN-
-mediated phosphorylation of GST-p65 was blocked by pretreatment with LY294002. These data suggest that IFN-
acts through PI3K to
enhance the transactivation competence of NF-
B complexes through phosphorylation of p65 within the TAD. The results provide novel insight into the role of PI3K in the transcriptional response to
IFN-
