| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The class III phosphoinositide 3-kinase, PIK3C3 is known to contribute to autophagy and regulate intracellular membrane trafficking. However, the role of PIK3C3 in tumorigenesis is little known. In the study, we elucidate that development of T cell lymphoma in T cell specific Pten deficient mouse was suppressed by crossing with T cell specific Pik3c3 deficient mice. In addition, Akt was little phosphorylated in thymus of Pten; Pik3c3 double knockout mice. These findings suggest that PIK3C3 might be a positive regulator for Akt signaling.
