Abstract The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a protein kinase with homology to lipid kinases, orchestrates cellular responses to growth and stress signals. Various extracellular and intracellular inputs to mTOR are known. mTOR processes these inputs as part of two mTOR protein com- plexes, mTORC1 or mTORC2. Surprisingly, despite the many cellular functions that are linked to mTOR, there are very few direct mTOR substrates identified to date.

BMC Cancer (2021) 21:136 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12885-021-07826-4 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Diverse mechanisms activate the PI 3- kinase/mTOR pathway in melanomas: implications for the use of PI 3-kinase inhibitors to overcome resistance to inhibitors of BRAF and MEK Khanh B. Tran1,2,3, Sharada Kolekar1, Anower Jabed2, Patrick Jaynes2, Jen-Hsing Shih2, Qian Wang2, Jack U. Flanagan1,3, Gordon W. Rewcastle1,3, Bruce C. Baguley1,3 and Peter R. Shepherd1,2,3* Abstract Background: The PI 3-kinase (PI3K) pathway has been implicated as a target for melanoma therapy. Methods: Given the high degree of genetic heterogeneity in melanoma, we sought to understand the breadth of variation in PI3K signalling in the large NZM panel of early passage cell lines developed from metastatic melanomas. Results: We find the vast majority of lines show upregulation of this pathway, and this upregulation is achieved by a wide range of mechanisms. Expression of all class-IA PI3K isoforms was readily detected in these cell lines. A range of genetic changes in different components of the PI3K pathway was seen in different lines. Coding variants or amplification were identified in the PIK3CA gene, and amplification of the PK3CG gene was common. Deletions in the PIK3R1 and PIK3R2 regulatory subunits were also relatively common. Notably, no genetic variants were seen in the PIK3CD gene despite p110δ being expressed in many of the lines. Genetic variants were detected in a number of genes that encode phosphatases regulating the PI3K signalling, with reductions in copy number common in PTEN, INPP4B, INPP5J, PHLLP1 and PHLLP2 genes.

  • Role of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 1 in Translational Regulation in the M-Phase
    cells Review Role of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 1 in Translational Regulation in the M-Phase Jaroslav Kalous *, Denisa Jansová and Andrej Šušor Institute of Animal Physiology and Genetics, Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Rumburska 89, 27721 Libechov, Czech Republic; [email protected] (D.J.); [email protected] (A.Š.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Received: 28 April 2020; Accepted: 24 June 2020; Published: 27 June 2020 Abstract: Cyclin dependent kinase 1 (CDK1) has been primarily identified as a key cell cycle regulator in both mitosis and meiosis. Recently, an extramitotic function of CDK1 emerged when evidence was found that CDK1 is involved in many cellular events that are essential for cell proliferation and survival. In this review we summarize the involvement of CDK1 in the initiation and elongation steps of protein synthesis in the cell. During its activation, CDK1 influences the initiation of protein synthesis, promotes the activity of specific translational initiation factors and affects the functioning of a subset of elongation factors. Our review provides insights into gene expression regulation during the transcriptionally silent M-phase and describes quantitative and qualitative translational changes based on the extramitotic role of the cell cycle master regulator CDK1 to optimize temporal synthesis of proteins to sustain the division-related processes: mitosis and cytokinesis. Keywords: CDK1; 4E-BP1; mTOR; mRNA; translation; M-phase 1. Introduction 1.1. Cyclin Dependent Kinase 1 (CDK1) Is a Subunit of the M Phase-Promoting Factor (MPF) CDK1, a serine/threonine kinase, is a catalytic subunit of the M phase-promoting factor (MPF) complex which is essential for cell cycle control during the G1-S and G2-M phase transitions of eukaryotic cells.

Deregulated mTOR signaling is implicated in a variety of disorders, such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases. The papers published in this special issue summarize the current understanding of the mTOR pathway and its role in the regulation of tissue regeneration, regulatory T cell differentiation and function, and different types of cancer including hematologic malignancies, skin, prostate, breast, and head and neck cancer. The findings highlight that targeting the mTOR pathway is a promising strategy to fight against certain human diseases. Keywords: mTOR; PI3K; Akt; tissue regeneration; regulatory T cells; tumor; photodynamic therapy The mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), a serine/threonine kinase, integrates environmental cues such as hormones, growth factors, nutrients, oxygen, and energy, regulating cell growth, proliferation, survival, motility and differentiation as well as metabolism (reviewed in [1,2]). Evidence has demonstrated that deregulated mTOR signaling is implicated in a variety of disorders, such as cancer, obesity, diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases (reviewed in [1,2]). Current knowledge indicates that mTOR functions at least as two distinct complexes (mTORC1 and mTORC2) in mammalian cells.

  • Mtor Inhibitors Potentially Reduce TGF-Β2-Induced Fibrogenic
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN mTOR inhibitors potentially reduce TGF‑β2‑induced fbrogenic changes in trabecular meshwork cells Nozomi Igarashi, Megumi Honjo* & Makoto Aihara We examined the efects of mTOR inhibitors on the fbrotic response induced by transforming growth factor‑beta2 (TGF‑β2) in cultured human trabecular meshwork (hTM) cells. TGF‑β2‑induced expression of fbronectin, collagen type I, alpha 1 chain (COL1A1), and alpha‑smooth muscle actin (αSMA) in hTM cells was examined in the presence or absence of mTOR inhibitors using quantitative real‑time polymerase chain reaction, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. The migration rates of hTM cells were examined in the presence of TGF‑β2 with or without mTOR inhibitors. An in vitro study showed that the expression of fbronectin, COL1A1, and αSMA was upregulated by TGF‑β2 treatment of hTM cells; such upregulation was signifcantly suppressed by mTOR inhibitors. The inhibitors signifcantly reduced the migration rate of TGF‑β2‑stimulated hTM cells. mTOR inhibitors may usefully reduce the fbrotic response of hTM cells and we may have to explore if it is also efective in in vivo model. Glaucoma is known to be the second leading cause of blindness worldwide. Aberrant increases in intraocular pressure (IOP) characterize glaucoma, and such an increase in IOP can damage the optic nerve 1–3. IOP reduction is the only established efective therapy that suppresses visual impairment and blindness in both hypertensive and normotensive individuals. IOP elevation is reported to be principally the result of increased aqueous humor (AH) outfow resistance within the conventional outfow pathway 1,4,5. Damage to the collector channels is impli- cated as a cause of resistance within the distal pathway in patients with advanced glaucoma 6.
