Screen for chemical modulators of autophagy reveals novel therapeutic inhibitors of mTORC1 signaling. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
BACKGROUND:Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is a protein kinase that relays nutrient availability signals to control numerous cellular functions including autophagy, a process of cellular self-eating activated by nutrient depletion ...

Abnormal KCC2 expression and function in a mouse model of epilepsy and tuberous sclerosis complex. [PDF]

Epilepsia
Abstract Objective Drug‐resistant epilepsy is a common, severe manifestation of the genetic disorder tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Although significant mechanistic and therapeutic advances have been made in TSC, treatments for seizures remain largely ineffective.

Effectiveness and safety of cannabidiol in adult patients with epilepsy: A multicenter, retrospective study. [PDF]

Epilepsia Open
Abstract Objective Cannabidiol (CBD) has demonstrated promising effectiveness and tolerability as adjunctive treatment in patients with severe childhood epilepsies. This study investigated the effectiveness and tolerability of CBD in adults with a history of Dravet syndrome (DS), Lennox–Gastaut syndrome (LGS), or tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC ...

Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 (mTORC1) Enhances Bortezomib-induced Death in Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC)-null Cells by a c-MYC-dependent Induction of the Unfolded Protein Response [PDF]

Journal of Biological Chemistry, 2013
Many factors, including duration and intensity of the unfolded protein response (UPR), dictate whether cells will adapt to endoplasmic reticulum stress or undergo apoptosis. In tuberous sclerosis (TSC), elevation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) activity has been proposed to compound the induction of UPR transcription factors ATF4 ...

Regulation of mTORC1 by amino acids in mammalian cells: A general picture of recent advances

Animal Nutrition, 2021
The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) integrates various types of signal inputs, such as energy, growth factors, and amino acids to regulate cell growth and proliferation mainly through the 2 direct downstream targets, eukaryotic ...

Enhanced expression of glucose transporter-1 in vascular smooth muscle cells via the Akt/tuberous sclerosis complex subunit 2 (TSC2)/mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR)/ribosomal S6 protein kinase (S6K) pathway in experimental renal failure [PDF]

Journal of Vascular Surgery, 2013
Chronic renal failure (CRF) is associated with increased cardiovascular mortality, and medial vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) hypertrophy, proliferation, and calcification play a pivotal role in uremic vasculopathy. Glucose transporter-1 (GLUT1) facilitates the transport of glucose into VSMCs, and GLUT1 overexpression associated with high glucose ...

Adipocyte-Specific Inhibition of Mir221/222 Ameliorates Diet-Induced Obesity Through Targeting Ddit4

Frontiers in Endocrinology, 2022
MicroRNAs expressed in adipocytes are involved in transcriptional regulation of target mRNAs in obesity, but miRNAs critically involved in this process is not well characterized.

Metformin Modulates T Cell Function and Alleviates Liver Injury Through Bioenergetic Regulation in Viral Hepatitis

Frontiers in Immunology, 2021
Metformin is not only the first-line medication for the treatment of type 2 diabetes, but it is also effective as an anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative and anti-tumor agent. However, the effect of metformin during viral hepatitis remains elusive. Using an

ETV2 regulates PARP-1 binding protein to induce ER stress–mediated death in tuberin-deficient cells

Life Science Alliance, 2022
In tuberin-deficient cells, SYK regulates ETV2 nuclear translocation, where it regulated Parpbp expression. Silencing Etv2 or Parpbp induces ER stress–mediated cell death in tuberin-deficient cells.
