Abstract Abstrak ACKGROUND: Our previous report showed that phosphorylated-survivin at Ser81 induces survivin back loop to activate protein kinase A (PKA) in the cytoprotection mechanism. Activated PKA could possibly induce the cytoprotection via Phosphatydilinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Therefore our current study was conducted to investigate the possibility of survivin-PKA-PI3K signaling ATAR BELAKANG: Penelitian kami sebelumnya memperlihatkan bahwa survivin yang terfosforilasi pada Ser81, dapat menginduksi survivin back loop sehingga mengaktifkan protein kinase A (PKA) dalam mekanisme pertahanan sel. PKA yang teraktivasi dapat menginduksi pertahanan sel lewat Phosphatydilinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Oleh karena itu, kami melakukan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui kemungkinan adanya jalur pensinyalan survivin-PKA-PI3K. METHODS: Viral productions by BOSC23 cells of Survivin.

L929 Indones Biomed J. : 157-62 Introduction Among Inhibitor of mammalian Inhibitor of Apoptosis Proteins (IAP. family, survivin is the smallest member, containing a single Baculovirus IAP Repeat (BIR), which is the hallmark of these molecules. Transcription of the survivin gene is strictly cell cycle-regulated, and peaks at mitosis. Survivin plays several roles in homeostatic networks, including the control of mitosis, the regulation of apoptosis and the cellular stress response. Therefore, the presence of survivin in cancer has been linked to resistance to apoptosis, metastasis, cell cycle checkpoints bypass and resistance to therapy. In addition, in some cancers, survivin have identiied survivin as a Aorisk factorAo for poor prognosis and disease recurrence. In response to cell death stimulation, survivin physically complexes with X-linked IAP (XIAP), then in turn promotes XIAP stability and synergistic inhibition of caspase-9 activation. Besides that. Phosphatydilinositol 3-kinase (PI3K). Akt, -catenin. T-cell factor (Tc. Lymphoid enhancer-binding factor (Le. and many others implicated in the expression of survivin. Our previous report showed that Survivin dominant negative enhanced Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-related apoptosis-inducing ligand (TRAIL)Aos activity in inducing apoptosis. In accordance, a recent report showed a posititve feedback loop connecting survivin expression in tumor cells to PI3K/ Akt, followed by secretion of Vascular Endothelial Growth Factor (VEGF) and angiogenesis. Amino acid residue Thr34 that lies within surAvivin BIR domain, was shown as an important amino acid in regulation of apoptosis. Phosphorylated-survivin at Thr34 bound to caspase-9 in HeLa cells. In addition, initiated from Scansite result. Ser81 was shown as another potential target to inhibit survivin-modulated cytoprotection as well as to sensitize eficacy of TRAIL or other related apoptotic inducers. Phosphorylated-survivin at Ser81 was later known mediating survivin back loop to activate protein kinase A (PKA) in the cytoprotection mechanism. As being reported, phosphodiesterase 4 (PDE. control intracellular cyclic adenosine monophosphate . AMP) levels by catalyzing their hydrolysis and inactivating second . PDE4 inhibition promotes PKA-dependent resolution of established neutrophilic inlammation by inhibition of the PI3K/Akt/myeloid cell leukemia 1 (Mcl-. Due to our previous study in PKA-activation upon phosphorylation of survivin at Ser81 . , we assume that the activated PKA could possibly induce cytoprotection via PI3K. Therefore our current study was conduced to investigate the possibility of suvivin-PKA-PI3K signaling Methods Preparation of Survivin Constructs.

This signal enhanced -catenin-Tcf/Lefdependent transcription followed by secretion of VEGF and angiogenesis. In accordance, our current results had shown that Survivin could induce tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 PI3K and PI3K activation speciically. While Survivin induced tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 PI3K and PI3K activity. Vector merely and Survivin-AS did not induce neither tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 PI3K nor PI3K Based on our previous report, phosphorylation of Ser81 was crucial for activation of PKA. In our current results, we found phosphorylation of Ser81 was also crucial in inducing tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 PI3K and activating PI3K. Survivin-PKA-PI3K signal pathway possibly play important role in anti-apoptosis/cytoprotection. In the opposite. Survivin-S81A-viral-infection was reported to enhance TRAILAos activity in inducing apoptosis.

Taken together, our current results suggest that Ser81 Survivin play an important role in inducing PI3K activation and the Survivin-PI3K signaling pathway was PKA-dependent. This provides important information to understand the mechanism induced by Survivin in mediating However, further investigation to disclose downstream of Survivin-PKA-PI3K signaling pathway is Acknowledgement We thanks to Aristi Papaioannou from Department of Pathology.

This reveals a new route for PKA to activate a pathway that promotes proliferation, inhibits apoptosis and enhances . This report is in accordance with our previous report, showing that phosphorylated-Survivin at Ser81 induced PKA back loop. In addition, our current results emphasized that Survivin-induced PI3K activation was mediated by PKA, since PKI 6-22 amide inhibited Survivin-induced pathway, as shown by lower tyrosine phosphorylation of p85 PI3K and PI3K activity upon pretreatment of PKI 6-22 amide prior to Survivin-viral Phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome 10 (PTEN)/PI3K/Akt constitute an important pathway regulating the signaling of multiple biological processes such as apoptosis, metabolism, cell proliferation and cell growth. PTEN is a non-redundant phosphatase, counteracting one of the most critical cancerpromoting pathways: the PI3K/Akt signaling pathway and its main substrate PIP3 is the product of PI3K. Increase in PIP3 recruits Akt to the membrane where is activated by other kinases also dependent on PIP3. Another positive feedback mechanism that decrease of E-cadherin, lowers PTEN and thereby increases PIP3, further activating Akt. Many components of this pathway have been described References
