Prostate cancer commonly metastasizes to bone due to its favorable microenvironment for cell growth and survival. Currently, the standard of care for metastatic prostate cancer is medical castration in conjunction with chemotherapeutic agents and newer anti-androgen/androgen receptor therapies. While these therapies aim to improve the quality of life in patients with advanced disease, resistance to these therapies is inevitable prompting the development of newer therapies to contain disease progression. The CXCL12/CXCR4 axis has previously been shown to be involved in prostate cancer cell homing to bone tissue, and new investigations found a novel interaction of Phosphatidyl Inositol 4 kinase IIIa (PI4KA) downstream of chemokine signaling. PI4KA phosphorylates at the 4th position on phosphatidylinositol (PI), to produce PI4P and is localized to the plasma membrane (PM). At the PM, PI4KA provides precursors for the generation of PI(4,5)P 2, and PI(3,4,5)P 3 and helps maintain PM identity through the recruitment of lipids and signaling proteins. PI4KA is recruited to the PM through evolutionarily conserved adaptor proteins, and in PC cells, CXCR4 binds with adaptor proteins to recruit PI4KA to the PM. The objective of this review is to summarize our understanding of the role that phosphatidyl inositol lipid messengers in cancer cells.
