[HTML][HTML] New insights into the role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase activity in the physiology of immature oocytes: lessons from recent mouse model studies
The immature oocytes within primordial follicles are arrested at Prophase I of meiosis and
remain dormant until awakened by an increase in intracellular levels of phosphatidylinositol
(3, 4, 5)-trisphosphate (PIP3). Oocyte PIP3 level is determined by the balance between the
activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphatase and tensin homologue
(PTEN). When this balance favours PI3K, PIP3 levels elevate and trigger the cascade of
PI3K/protein kinase B (AKT)/the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, leading to …

Abstract
The immature oocytes within primordial follicles are arrested at Prophase I of meiosis and remain dormant until awakened by an increase in intracellular levels of phosphatidylinositol (3, 4, 5)-trisphosphate (PIP3). Oocyte PIP3 level is determined by the balance between the activity of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) and phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN). When this balance favours PI3K, PIP3 levels elevate and trigger the cascade of PI3K/protein kinase B (AKT)/the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway, leading to activation of primordial follicles. This short review aims to provide new insights into the physiological functions of PI3K and PTEN in immature oocytes by summarising recent findings from murine model studies, including oocyte-specific transgenic mice with constitutively-active mutant PI3K.
