Torin1 significantly inhibited α2M*-induced cellproliferation as measured by protein and DNA synthesis. Translational activity, a major cellular response in malignant cells,is coordinately regulated by the mTORC1-S6-kinaseand mTORC1-4EBP1 axes. Torin1 significantly inhibited α2M*- and insulin-induced activation of mTORC1 as determined by phosphorylation of S6-kinaseat Thr389 and 4EBP1 at Thr37/46 compared to untreated cells employing Raptor immunoprecipitates. Torin1 also significantly inhibited α2M*- and insulin-induced upregulation of p-AktT308 and p-AktS473 in prostate cancer cells. The effect was comparable to that of insulin employed as a positive control. Finally, Torin1 inhibited α2M*- and insulin-induced activation of mTORC2 kinase assayas measured by phosphorylation of Akt at Ser473 inRictor immunoprecipitates of prostate cancer cells.展开更多
目的研究哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mammalian target of rapamycin,mTOR)通路抑制剂对卵丘及卵母细胞发育潜能的影响。方法收集小鼠较大有腔卵泡中卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(cumulusoocyte complexes,COCs)作为体外培养的研究对象,在培养液中...目的研究哺乳动物雷帕霉素靶蛋白(mammalian target of rapamycin,mTOR)通路抑制剂对卵丘及卵母细胞发育潜能的影响。方法收集小鼠较大有腔卵泡中卵丘-卵母细胞复合体(cumulusoocyte complexes,COCs)作为体外培养的研究对象,在培养液中加入不同浓度的mTOR通路抑制剂(雷帕霉素、Torin1),分析mTOR通路抑制剂对卵丘及卵母细胞发育潜能的影响。结果雷帕霉素、Torin1可以有效抑制COCs中mTOR信号通路,Torin1有明显影响卵丘细胞扩展的作用,使卵母细胞受精及着床前胚胎发育潜能下降。结论 mTOR信号通路抑制剂有明显降低卵母细胞质量的效应,是维持COCs活性及促进卵丘和卵母细胞的发育潜能所必需。展开更多
