Although restoration of PTEN function to tumors is difficult to implement clinically, much of the effects of PTEN loss are attributable to overactive PI3K/Akt pathway signaling, and this overactivity can be modulated by pharmacologic approaches.

Here, we show that 1) TGF-beta1 induced a rapid increase of the PI3K activity that was accompanied by increased expression (5-fold) of the uPA mRNA; 2) pharmacological inhibition of PI3K or AS-PI3K ODN transfection inhibited TGF-beta1-stimulated Akt phosphorylation; 3) both PI3K pharmacological inhibitors and forced expression of AS-PI3K ODN reduced TGF-beta1-stimulated uPA mRNA and protein expression by approximately 70% compared with controls; 4) concentrations of PI3K inhibitors, sufficient to inhibit uPA up-regulation, inhibited TGF-beta1-dependent HRA cell invasion; 5) the AS-PI3K ODN cells had a decreased ability to invade the extracellular matrix layer as compared with controls; and 6) when the AS-PI3K ODN cells were injected intraperitoneally into nude mice, the mice developed smaller intraperitoneal tumors and showed longer survival.
