摘要
Phosphatidylinositide-3-OH-kinase (PI 3-kinase) is an upstream activator of p42/p44 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), but the role of PI 3-kinase-dependent MAPK remains obscure. Here we demonstrate that in a variety of different cell types, PI 3-kinase inhibition results in an inhibition of MAPK in unstimulated cells but does not interfere with growth factor, or TPA-induced MAPK activity. Furthermore, inhibition of either PI 3-kinase or MEK/MAPK results in cell death in serum-starved cells, We concluded that basal, but not induced MAPK activity is mediated by PI 3-kinase and that this PI 3-kinase-mediated MEK/MAPK activity is essential for cell survival in quiescent cells.
