    Abstract: The present invention provides methods for predicting a likelihood that a tumor cell will be sensitive or resistant to a phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) inhibitor. The methods generally involve determining an expression level of a gene product that correlates with sensitivity or resistance to a PI3K inhibitor. The present invention also provides methods for increasing sensitivity of a tumor cell to a PI3K inhibitor by contacting the tumor cell with an activator or inhibitor of a gene product that correlates with sensitivity or resistance to a PI3K inhibitor.
