PTEN/PI3K/Akt signaling pathway is involved in the regulation of pyroptosis. (1) PPAR can regulate the transcription of PTEN, and METTL3 can also modify PTEN. (2) Upregulation of PTEN can reduce the phosphorylation of PI3K and Akt. SIRT1 can interact with Akt directly, consequently promoting the activity of Akt and inhibiting the production of ROS via Akt/PDH axis. (3) DDX3X can be phosphorylated by Akt, and Akt can increase the phosphorylation of NLRP3. (4) PI3K/Akt/mTOR/NF-κB signaling pathway can also regulate pyroptosis mediated by NLRP3 inflammasome. (5) PTEN directly interacts with NLRP3 and enables NLRP3 inflammasome assembly and activation.
