Abstract
In the last decade, the availability of genetically modified animals has revealed interesting roles for phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) as signaling platforms orchestrating multiple cellular responses, both in health and pathology. By acting downstream distinct receptor types, PI3Ks nucleate complex signaling assemblies controlling several biological process, ranging from cell proliferation and survival to immunity, cancer, metabolism and cardiovascular control. While the involvement of these kinases in modulating immune reactions and neoplastic transformation has long been accepted, recent progress from our group and others has highlighted new and unforeseen roles of PI3Ks in controlling cardiovascular function. Hence, the view is emerging that pharmacological targeting of distinct PI3K isoforms could be successful in treating disorders such as myocardial infarction and heart failure, besides inflammatory diseases and cancer. Currently, PI3Ks represent attractive drug targets for companies interested in the development of novel and safe treatments for such diseases. Numerous hit and lead compounds are now becoming available and, for some of them, clinical trials can be envisaged in the near future. In the following sections, we will outline the impact of specific PI3K isoforms in regulating different cellular contexts, including immunity, metabolism, cancer and cardiovascular system, both in physiological and disease conditions.
