Protein kinaseB(Akt) plays important roles in regulation of cell growth and survival, but while many aspects of its mechanism of action are known, there are potentially additional regulatory events that remain to be discovered.Here we detected a 36-kDa protein that was co-immunoprecipitated with protein kinase Bβ (Akt2) in OVCAR-3 ovarian cancer cells.The protein was identified to be glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) by MALDI-TOF/TOF MS, and the interaction of Akt2 and GAPDH was verified by reverse immunoprecipitation.Our further study showed that Akt2 may suppress GAPDH-mediated apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells.Over expression of GAPDH increased ovarian cancer cell apoptosis induced by H2O2, which was inhibited by Akt2 overexpression and restored by the PI3K/Akt inhibitor wortmannin or Akt2 siRNA.Akt2 phosphorylated Thr-237 of GAPDH and decreased its nuclear translocation, an essential step for GAPDH-mediateda poptosis.The interaction between Akt2 and GAPDH may be important in ovarian cancer as immunohistochemical analysis of 10 normal and 30 cancerous ovarian tissues revealed that decreased nuclear expression of GAPDH correlated with activation (phosphorylation) ofAkt2.In conclusion, our study suggests that activated Akt2 may increase ovarian cancer cell survival via inhibition of GAPDH-induced apoptosis.This effect of Akt2 is partly mediated by its phosphorylation of GAPDH at Thr-237,which results in the inhibition of GAPDH nuclear translocation.
