The involvement of phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha in vascular smooth muscle cell migration was investigated. Products of phosphoinositide 3-kinase, phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate, and phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bis-phosphate were increased upon smooth muscle cell migration but their synthesis was affected only partially by phosphoinositide 3-kinase inhibitors, wortmannin and LY-294002. Using specific antibody, we showed that the wortmannin/LY-294002 poorly sensitive phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha is expressed in smooth muscle cells. Measurement of phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha activity in vitro, after immunoprecipitation, clearly demonstrated its activation upon smooth muscle cell migration. Moreover, for the first time, phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha was found to be differentially regulated by alpha(v)beta(3) and alpha(v)beta(5) integrin engagement. Finally, we have identified two new potential phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha-binding proteins, p70 and p110, which both may be tyrosine phosphorylated. Thus, phosphoinositide 3-kinase C2alpha might represent a new regulatory pathway of cell migration downstream of integrin engagement.
