A lipid off-switch for mTORC1

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017
Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a central regulator of metabolism, cell growth and survival. Our finding that local phosphatidylinositol 3,4-bisphosphate [PI(3,4)P2] synthesis at late endosomes/ lysosomes by class II PI3Kβ (PI3KC2β ...

Lipid droplets and lipotoxicity during autophagy. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Lipid droplets (LDs) are neutral lipid storage organelles that provide a rapidly accessible source of fatty acids (FAs) for energy during periods of nutrient deprivation.

Restriction of Individual Branched‐Chain Amino Acids has Distinct Effects on the Development and Progression of Alzheimer's Disease in 3xTg Mice

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Protein restriction (PR) slows Alzheimer's disease (AD) in mice, and other benefits of PR are due to decreased branched‐chain amino acids (BCAAs). We show that restricting any BCAA has benefits, with sex‐ and BCAA‐specific impacts on pathology, molecular signaling, and cognition.

Escaping mTOR inhibition for cancer therapy: Tumor suppressor functions of mTOR

open access: yesMolecular & Cellular Oncology, 2017
A master promoter of cell growth, mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is upregulated in a large percentage of cancer cells. Still, targeting mTOR using rapamycin has a limited outcome in patients. Our recent results highlight the additional role of mTOR

Vascular Growth in the Fetal Lung [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The structure of the lung is truly remarkable. It is primarily composed of three branched tubular networks (the airway, pulmonary artery and vein, bronchial artery and vein) which supply blood and air to the site of gas exchange and which maintain ...

Time‐Controlled Refrigerated Stem Cell Therapy Mitigates Scleroderma Fibrosis via Modulation of Mitochondrial Autophagy and Gut Metabolism

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
This study established an RT‐MSCs‐based therapeutic approach for scleroderma in mice. RT‐MSCs attenuated fibrosis by regulating mitochondrial autophagy and restored gut microbiota homeostasis. Metabolomic analyses confirmed recovery of key metabolites, and RT‐MSCs demonstrated favorable lesion targeting and safety profiles.

An mTORC1 to HRI signaling axis promotes cytotoxicity of proteasome inhibitors in multiple myeloma

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2022
Multiple myeloma (MM) causes approximately 20% of deaths from blood cancers. Notwithstanding significant therapeutic progress, such as with proteasome inhibitors (PIs), MM remains incurable due to the development of resistance.

Antigen Complexed with a TLR9 Agonist Bolsters c-Myc and mTORC1 Activity in Germinal Center B Lymphocytes. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The germinal center (GC) is the anatomical site where humoral immunity evolves. B cells undergo cycles of proliferation and selection to produce high-affinity Abs against Ag. Direct linkage of a TLR9 agonist (CpG) to a T-dependent Ag increases the number

Epithelial cell specific Raptor is required for initiation of type 2 mucosal immunity in small intestine [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Intestinal tuft cells are one of 4 secretory cell linages in the small intestine and the source of IL-25, a critical initiator of the type 2 immune response to parasite infection. When Raptor, a critical scaffold protein for mammalian target of rapamycin
