Mesenchymal cell migration as exhibited by fibroblasts is distinct from amoeboid cell migration and is characterized by dynamic competition among multiple protrusions, which determines directional persistence and responses to spatial cues. Localization of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) signaling is thought to play a broadly important role in cell motility, yet the context-dependent functions of this pathway have not been adequately elucidated. By mapping the spatiotemporal dynamics of cell protrusion/retraction and PI3K signaling monitored by total internal reflection fluorescence microscopy, we show that randomly migrating fibroblasts reorient polarity through PI3K-dependent branching and pivoting of protrusions. PI3K inhibition did not affect the initiation of newly branched protrusions, nor did it prevent protrusion induced by photoactivation of Rac. Rather, PI3K signaling increased after, not before, the onset of local protrusion and was required for the lateral spreading and stabilization of nascent branches. During chemotaxis, the branch experiencing the higher chemoattractant concentration was favored, and, thus, the cell reoriented so as to align with the external gradient.

Receptor-linked class I phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) induce assembly of signal transduction complexes through protein–protein and protein–lipid interactions that mediate cell proliferation, survival, and migration. Although class II PI3Ks have the potential to make the same phosphoinositides as class I PI3Ks, their precise cellular role is currently unclear. In this report, we demonstrate that class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2β (PI3KC2β) associates with the Eps8/Abi1/Sos1 complex and is recruited to the EGF receptor as part of a multiprotein signaling complex also involving Shc and Grb2. Increased expression of PI3KC2β stimulated Rac activity in A-431 epidermoid carcinoma cells, resulting in enhanced membrane ruffling and migration speed of the cells. Conversely, expression of dominant negative PI3KC2β reduced Rac activity, membrane ruffling, and cell migration. Moreover, PI3KC2β-overexpressing cells were protected from anoikis and displayed enhanced proliferation, independently of Rac function. Taken together, these findings suggest that PI3KC2β regulates the migration and survival of human tumor cells by distinct molecular mechanisms.

The lipid products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) are involved in many cellular responses such as proliferation, migration, and survival. Disregulation of PI3K-activated pathways is implicated in different diseases including cancer and diabetes. Among the three classes of PI3Ks, class I is the best characterized, whereas class II has received increasing attention only recently and the precise role of these isoforms is unclear. Similarly, the role of phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate (PtdIns-3-P) as an intracellular second messenger is only just beginning to be appreciated. Here, we show that lysophosphatidic acid (LPA) stimulates the production of PtdIns-3-P through activation of a class II PI3K (PI3K-C2β). Both PtdIns-3-P and PI3K-C2β are involved in LPA-mediated cell migration. This study is the first identification of PtdIns-3-P and PI3K-C2β as downstream effectors in LPA signaling and demonstration of an intracellular role for a class II PI3K. Defining this novel PI3K-C2β–PtdIns-3-P signaling pathway may help clarify the process of cell migration and may shed new light on PI3K-mediated intracellular events.

The tumor suppressor p53 and the phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K)-Akt pathway have fundamental roles in regulating cell growth, apoptosis and are frequently mutated in cancer. Here, we show that genotoxic stress induces nuclear Akt activation by a p53-dependent mechanism that is independent from the canonical membrane-localized PI3K-Akt pathway. Upon genotoxic stress a nuclear p53-PI3,4,5P3 complex is generated in regions devoid of membranes by a nuclear PI3K, and this complex recruits all the kinases required to activate Akt and phosphorylate FOXOs, inhibiting DNA damage-induced apoptosis. Wild-type p53 activates nuclear Akt in an on/off fashion upon stress, whereas mutant p53 stimulates high basal Akt activity, indicating a fundamental difference. The nuclear p53-phosphoinositide signalosome is distinct from the canonical membrane-localized pathway and insensitive to PI3K inhibitors currently in the clinic, underscoring its therapeutic relevance.

In the last few years, an increased attention to class II isoforms of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) has emerged, mainly fuelled by evidence suggesting a distinct non-redundant role for these enzymes compared with other PI3Ks. Despite this renewed interest, many questions remain on the specific functions regulated by these isoforms and their mechanism of activation and action. In the present review, we discuss results from recent studies that have provided some answers to these questions.
