mTORC1-driven accumulation of the oncometabolite fumarate as a potential critical step in renal cancer progression

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2019
Modeling renal cancer in the mouse has been challenging. We recently showed that upregulation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in a restricted segment of the renal tubule leads to downregulation of the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle ...

Targeting lipid signalling in cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Phosphoinositide 3-kinases (PI3Ks) play an important role in a variety of cellular activities, including mitogenic signalling and cell survival, cytoskeletal remodelling, metabolic control, proliferation and vesicular trafficking.

UiO‐66 metal–organic frameworks in biomedicine: From structural tunability to bioimaging, photodiagnostics, and photodynamic cancer therapy

open access: yesFEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
UiO‐66(Zr) metal–organic frameworks are chemically stable, biocompatible, and highly tunable nanomaterials. Their modular structure enables controlled drug delivery, multimodal bioimaging, and light‐activated photodynamic therapy, supporting integrated diagnostic and therapeutic (theranostic) applications in cancer and biomedical research.

Convergent and Divergent Mechanisms of Epileptogenesis in mTORopathies

open access: yesFrontiers in Neuroanatomy, 2021
Hyperactivation of the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) due to mutations in genes along the PI3K-mTOR pathway and the GATOR1 complex causes a spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders (termed mTORopathies) associated with malformation of

Chromosomal Instability Drives Glioblastoma Heterogeneity and Therapeutic Opportunities

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Glioblastoma, the most aggressive and lethal form of brain cancer, is defined by profound genomic instability, with Chromosomal Instability (CIN) playing a central role in driving tumor progression, therapy resistance, and poor prognosis. CIN is characterized by numerical and structural alterations, is driven by mechanisms such as mitotic ...

Coinhibition of mTORC1/mTORC2 and RhoA /ROCK pathways prevents chronic rejection of rat cardiac allografts

open access: yesTransplantation Reports, 2018
Chronic rejection of transplanted organs remains an unresolved issue in clinical organ transplantation. The macrophages play a crucial role in the development of chronic rejection.

Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 in Distal Convoluted Tubule and Renal Potassium Handling

open access: yesJournal of the American Society of Nephrology
Key Points Rapamycin inhibited Kir4.1/Kir5.1, decreased Na-Cl-cotransporter (NCC), and increased renal potassium (K + ) excretion.

Current Models of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1) Activation by Growth Factors and Amino Acids

open access: yes, 2014
Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which is now referred to as mechanistic target of rapamycin, integrates many signals, including those from growth factors, energy status, stress, and amino acids, to regulate cell growth and proliferation, protein ...

Detection of Protein–Protein Interactions in Escherichia coli With Single Molecule Sensitivity

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This article describes a regulatory circuit in Escherichia coli able to detect protein–protein interactions with exquisite sensitivity. The interaction between two hybrid proteins fused to Bordetella pertussis adenylate cyclase and its activator calmodulin triggers a potent cyclic AMP signaling cascade.

Survival of intracellular pathogens in response to mTORC1- or TRPML1-TFEB-induced xenophagy

open access: yesAutophagy Reports, 2023
Intracellular pathogens establish persistent infections by generating reservoirs that protect them from the action of antibiotics and the host immune response.
