Members of the phosphoinositide-3 kinase (PI3K) family control several cellular responses including cell growth, survival, cytoskeletal remodeling and the trafficking of intracellular organelles in many different types of cell. In particular PI3K has important functions in the immune system. It has been difficult to evaluate the roles of distinct PI3Ks in cellular immune responses because no PI3K inhibitors are specific for individual family members and because most stimuli activate several…

The essential role of phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) in regulating pro-inflammatory responses and the progression of cancer.
TLDR
The aim of this review is to outline current understandings of the PI3K family, mechanism of their activation, their role in inflammatory responses and the development of malignant tumors.
Signaling by the phosphoinositide 3-kinase family in immune cells.
TLDR
The understanding of the PI3Ks in immunity is guided by fundamental discoveries made in simpler model organisms as well as by appreciating new adaptations of this signaling module in mammals in general and in immune cells in particular.

Role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase signaling in mast cells: new insights from knockout mouse studies
TLDR
This review presents several new insights into mast cell biology, which have been elucidated by the analyses of these knockout mice which have provided significant information concerning the role of PI3K signals in mast cell differentiation.
Phosphoinositide 3-kinase: diverse roles in immune cell activation.
TLDR
The concept that PI3K and its products are components of complex networks of interacting proteins and second messengers, rather than simple links in linear signaling cascades is emphasized.
Lymphocyte cell motility: the twisting, turning tale of phosphoinositide 3-kinase.
TLDR
Cell-type-specific roles for PI3K catalytic and regulatory subunits in the homing and basal motility of lymphocytes in the intact lymph node are highlighted.
The Phosphoinositide-3 Kinase Survival Signaling Mechanism in Sepsis
TLDR
Animal studies confirm the role of PI3K in the prevention of organ dysfunction and improvement of survival outcomes and further advances in the understanding may provide valuable insights into the manipulation of cellular function for therapeutic treatment of sepsis and other inflammatory diseases.
PI3K/AKT signaling and systemic autoimmunity
TLDR
Recently described murine models that exhibit activated PI3K/Akt signaling and the potential role this pathway in autoimmune disease are reviewed, and the therapeutic implications of these findings are discussed.
PI3K signaling controls cell fate at many points in B lymphocyte development and activation.
Therapeutic Potential of Phosphatidylinositol 3-Kinase Inhibitors in Inflammatory Respiratory Disease
TLDR
Encouraging data from animal models, primary cells and clinical studies in other diseases suggest that inhibitors of PI3K/Akt may prove to be useful novel therapies in the treatment of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

Cellular function of phosphoinositide 3-kinases: Implications for development, immunity, homeostasis, and cancer
TLDR
This review uses transgenic and knockout mouse studies where either PI3K or its signaling components are deregulated as a framework to build a profile of PI3k function within both the cell and the organism and focuses, in particular, on the role ofPI3K in cell regulation, immunity, and development.

Function of PI3Kgamma in thymocyte development, T cell activation, and neutrophil migration.
TLDR
It is shown that PI3Kgamma controls thymocyte survival and activation of mature T cells but has no role in the development or function of B cells.
Impaired B and T Cell Antigen Receptor Signaling in p110δ PI 3-Kinase Mutant Mice
TLDR
Results reveal a selective role for p110δ in immunity and suggest second messenger signals downstream of tyrosine kinases influence cell metabolism, growth, proliferation, differentiation, motility, and survival.
New Responsibilities for the PI3K Regulatory Subunit p85α
TLDR
Recent studies present evidence for an additional role for p85α in the regulation of actin cytoskeleton, and Okkenhaug and Vanhaesebroeck discuss whether experiments describing p85 α knockout mice need to be reinterpreted.
Central role for G protein-coupled phosphoinositide 3-kinase γ in inflammation
TLDR
Results demonstrate that PI3Kγ is a crucial signaling molecule required for macrophage accumulation in inflammation and shows reduced migration toward a wide range of chemotactic stimuli and a severely defective accumulation in a septic peritonitis model.
