RESUMO

In this work, we report the implication of the pleckstrin homology (PH) domain-containing protein CKIP-1 in phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI3-K)-regulated muscle differentiation. CKIP-1 is upregulated during muscle differentiation in C2C12 cells. We show that CKIP-1 binds to phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate through its PH domain and localizes to the plasma membrane in a PI3-K-dependent manner. Activation of PI3-K by insulin or expression of an active form of PI3-K p110 induces a rapid translocation of CKIP-1 to the plasma membrane. Conversely, expression of the 3-phosphoinositide phosphatase myotubularin or PI3-K inhibition by LY294002, wortmannin, or mutant p85 abolishes CKIP-1 binding to the membrane. Upon induction of differentiation in low-serum medium, CKIP-1 overexpression in C2C12 myoblasts first promotes proliferation and then stimulates the expression of myogenin and cell fusion in a manner reminiscent of the dual positive effect of insulin-like growth factors on muscle cells. Interference with the PI3-K pathway impedes the effect of CKIP-1 on C2C12 cell differentiation. Finally, silencing of CKIP-1 by RNA interference abolishes proliferation and delays myogenin expression. Altogether, these data strongly implicate CKIP-1 as a new component of PI3-K signaling in muscle differentiation.
