  2. PTEN Pathway PTEN is a tumor suppressor gene that is able to dephosphorylate phosphatidylinositol 3,4,5-trisphosphate (PI-3,4,5-P3), the product of phosphatidyl inositol 3-kinase (PIK). Many of the mutations that have arisen in cancerous cells have been mapped to the phosphatase catalytic domain of PTEN. Data suggests that the phosphatase activity of PTEN is essential for its function as a tumor suppressor. The activation of Akt/PKB is regulated by the phosphorylation of Akt on Thr308 and Ser473 by phosphoinositide-dependent kinase (PDK) and integrin-linked kinase (ILK), respectively. Inactivation of PTEN allows constitutive and unregulated activation of the Akt/PKB signaling pathway. In addition to regulating the Akt/PKB signaling pathway, PTEN also inhibits growth factor (GF)-induced Shc phosphorylation and suppresses the MAP kinase signaling pathway. PTEN interacts directly with FAK and is able to dephosphorylate activated FAK. PTEN-induced down-regulation of p130CAS through FAK results in inhibition of cell migration and spreading.
