摘要: Phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activity is crucial for leukocyte function, but the roles of four receptor-activated isoforms are unclear. Mice lacking heterotrimeric guanine nucleotide-binding protein (G protein)–coupled PI3Kγ were viable and had fully differentiated neutrophils macrophages. Chemoattractant-stimulated PI3Kγ−/− did not produce phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate, activate kinase B, displayed impaired respiratory burst motility. Peritoneal PI3Kγ-null macrophages showed a reduced migration toward wide range chemotactic stimuli severely defective accumulation in septic peritonitis model. These results demonstrate that signaling molecule required macrophage inflammation.
