Gene expression profiling upon PI3K inhibition using different inhibitors

ABSTRACT: Activation of the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)/Akt signaling pathway is one the most frequent genetic events in human cancer. Therefore, the development of PI3K inhibitors has attracted much attention. We previously described the pyrazolopyrimidine derivative ETP-45658 as a potent inhibitor of PI3K p110α in vitro and in vivo. Here we report the gene expression signatures of MCF7 cells treated with ETP-45658 or the reference PI3K inhibitor PI-103. Both compounds potently inhibited proliferation of a wide range of human cancer cells. ETP-45658 most potently suppressed the growth of PIK3CA (E545K)-mutated MCF7 breast cancer cells. Treatment with ETP-45658 or PI-103 resulted in a time and concentration-dependent decrease in phosphorylation of AKT Ser473 in MCF7 cells. We conducted microar
