General description

A fungal metabolite that acts as a potent, selective, cell-permeable and irreversible inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) in purified preparations and cytosolic fractions (IC50 = 5 nM). Preincubation of fibroblasts with wortmannin abolishes PDGF-mediated Ins(3,4,5)P3 formation (IC50 = 5 nM). Blocks the catalytic activity of PI 3-kinase without affecting the upstream signaling events. Also blocks the metabolic effects of insulin in isolated rat adipocytes without affecting the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase activity. Inhibits MAP kinase activation induced by platelet activating factor in guinea pig neutrophils (0.2-0.3 µM). Inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption. Inhibits other kinases, such as myosin light chain kinase (IC50 = 200 nM) and PI 4-kinase at concentrations 100-fold higher than that required for the inhibition of PI 3-kinase. Also blocks phospholipase D.

Autophagy is a fundamental cellular catabolic pathway mediating the recycling of cellular components. Autophagy has been implicated in pathogenesis of diverse diseases such as neurodegeneration and cancer.

The effects of transcription factors on the maintenance and differentiation of human-induced or embryonic pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs/ESCs) have been well studied. However, the importance of posttranscriptional regulatory mechanisms, which cause the quantitative dissociation of mRNA and protein expression, has
