Phosphoinositides (PIs) are membrane lipids that regulate signal transduction and vesicular trafficking. X-linked centronuclear myopathy (XLCNM), also called myotubular myopathy, results from loss-of-function mutations in theMTM1gene, which encodes the myotubularin phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) lipid phosphatase. No therapy for this disease is currently available. Previous studies showed that loss of expression of the class II phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) PI3KC2β (PI3KC2B) protein improved the phenotypes of an XLCNM mouse model. PI3Ks are well known to have extensive scaffolding functions and the importance of the catalytic activity of this PI3K for rescue remains unclear. Here, using PI3KC2β kinase–dead mice, we show that the selective inactivation of PI3KC2β kinase activity is sufficient to fully prevent muscle atrophy and weakness, histopathology, and sarcomere and triad disorganization inMtm1-knockout mice. This rescue correlates with normalization of PtdIns3P level and mTORC1 activity, a key regulator of protein synthesis and autophagy. Conversely, lack of PI3KC2β kinase activity did not rescue the histopathology of theBIN1autosomal CNM mouse model. Overall, these findings support the development of specific PI3KC2β kinase inhibitors to cure myotubular myopathy.
