Abstract Background Iron uptake via endocytosis of iron-transferrin-transferrin receptor complexes is a rate-limiting step for cell growth viability and proliferation in tumor cells as well as nontransformed cells such as activated lymphocytes. Signaling pathways that regulate transferrin uptake have not yet been identified. Results We surveyed the human signaling proteome for regulators that increase or decrease transferrin uptake by screening 1 804 dicer-generated signaling small interfering RNAs using automated quantitative imaging. In addition to known transport proteins we identified 11 signaling proteins that included a striking signature set for the phosphatidylinositol-3 4 5-trisphosphate PtdIns 3 4 5 P3 -target of rapamycin mTOR signaling pathway. We show that the PI3K-mTOR signaling pathway is a positive regulator of transferrin uptake that increases the number of transferrin receptors per endocytic
