Project description:The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a key regulator of pathological remodeling in the heart by activating ribosomal biogenesis and mRNA translation. Inhibition of mTOR in cardiomyocytes is protective, however, a detailed role of mTOR in translational regulation of specific mRNA networks in the diseased heart is largely unknown. A cardiomyocyte genome-wide sequencing approach was used to define mTOR-dependent post-transcriptional gene expression control at the level of mRNA translation. This approach identified the muscle specific protein Cullin-associated NEDD8-dissociated protein 2 (Cand2) as a translationally upregulated gene dependent on the activity of mTOR. Deletion of Cand2 protects the myocardium against pathological remodeling. Mechanistically, we found that Cand2 links mTOR- signaling to pathological cell growth by increasing Grk5 protein expression. Our data suggest that cell-type specific targeting of mTOR might have therapeutic value for adverse pathological cardiac remodeling.

Project description:Skeletal muscle contains diverse myofiber types and non-myocyte populations, but the molecular basis of many myopathies remains poorly defined because conventional methods cannot directly connect histopathology with gene expression at single-fiber resolution. We applied high-resolution Seq-Scope spatial transcriptomics to extensor digitorum longus and soleus muscles from a mouse model of mTORC1 hyperactivation. The analysis revealed fiber-type-specific pathological responses. Type I and IIa fibers showed limited morphological changes, whereas type IIx fibers followed distinct trajectories. In soleus, type IIx fibers exhibited abnormal enlargement associated with growth signaling, cytoskeletal remodeling, and impaired proteostasis. In extensor digitorum longus, type IIx fibers developed basophilia associated with increased RNA content and transcriptional signatures related to lipid, oxidative, and nucleotide metabolism. Type IIb fibers also displayed multiple transcriptional states. Macrophages and fibroblasts preferentially accumulated in soleus, where they contributed to an inflammatory and fibrotic microenvironment. These data link muscle histopathology with spatially resolved molecular states at single-fiber resolution.

Project description:Naïve T cells respond to antigen stimulation by exiting from quiescence into clonal expansion and functional differentiation, but the control mechanism is elusive. Here we describe that Raptor/mTORC1-dependent metabolic reprogramming is a central determinant of this transitional process. Loss of Raptor abrogates T cell priming and Th2 cell differentiation, although Raptor function is less important for continuous proliferation of actively cycling cells. mTORC1 coordinates multiple metabolic programs in T cells including glycolysis, lipid synthesis and oxidative phosphorylation to mediate antigen-triggered exit from quiescence. mTORC1 further links glucose metabolism to the initiation of Th2 differentiation by orchestrating cytokine receptor expression and cytokine responsiveness. Activation of Raptor/mTORC1 integrates T cell receptor (TCR) and CD28 co-stimulatory signals in antigen-stimulated T cells. Our studies identify a Raptor/mTORC1-dependent pathway linking signal-dependent metabolic reprogramming to quiescence exit, and this in turn coordinates lymphocyte activation and fate decisions in adaptive immunity. We used microarrays to explore the gene expression profiles differentially expressed in CD4+ T-cells from wild-type (WT) and CD4(cre) x Raptor(fl/fl) mice before and after stimulation with anti CD3/CD28 antibodies.

Project description:Mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) senses nutrient availability to orchestrate metabolic processes critical for physiological homeostasis and organismal aging. While mTORC1 preferentially regulates the translation of 5′-terminal oligopyrimidine (TOP) motif-containing mRNAs that predominantly encode ribosomal proteins (RPs) via the translational repressor 4E-BP, this mTORC1 function is resistant to rapamycin inhibition. TOP mRNAs are exceptionally abundant, thus imposing a major translational burden on cells; yet how their translation is physiologically tuned and linked to longevity remain unexplored. Here we identify Lsp2, originally known as a storage protein, as an adipose effector and feedback activator of mTORC1 that modulates lifespan in Drosophila. Lsp2 expression is induced by essential amino acids (EAAs) via mTORC1 and gated by additional signals of nutrient sufficiency. Genetic ablation of Lsp2 robustly extends lifespan without impairing key life-history traits such as reproduction. Translatomic profiling shows that loss of Lsp2 selectively reduces global TOP mRNA translation in a 4E-BP–dependent manner, thereby extending lifespan via a mechanism distinct from rapamycin. Evolutionarily, TOP motifs co-emerged with 4E-BP and are present in nearly all Drosophila RP mRNAs. Moreover, we demonstrate that their role in translational control extends to Drosophila. Collectively, our findings reveal a nutrient-induced physiological factor that amplifies mTORC1 output in TOP mRNA translation and regulates organismal longevity.

Project description:To stimulate cell growth, the protein kinase complex mTORC1 requires intracellular amino acids for activation. Amino-acid sufficiency is relayed to mTORC1 by Rag GTPases on lysosomes, where growth factor signaling enhances mTORC1 activity via the GTPase Rheb. In the absence of amino acids, GATOR1 inactivates the Rags, resulting in lysosomal detachment and inactivation of mTORC1. We demonstrate that in human cells, the release of mTORC1 from lysosomes depends on its kinase activity. In accordance with a negative feedback mechanism, activated mTOR mutants display low lysosome occupancy, causing hypo-phosphorylation and nuclear localization of the lysosomal substrate TFE3. Surprisingly, mTORC1 activated by Rheb does not increase the cytoplasmic/lysosomal ratio of mTORC1, indicating the existence of mTORC1 pools with distinct substrate specificity. Dysregulation of either pool results in aberrant TFE3 activity and may explain nuclear accumulation of TFE3 in epileptogenic malformations in focal cortical dysplasia type II (FCD II) and tuberous sclerosis (TSC).

Translatomic profiling reveals that loss of Lsp2 selectively reduces global TOP mRNA translation in a 4E-BP-dependent manner, thereby extending lifespan via a mechanism distinct from rapamycin inhibition. Finally, Lsp2 adipokine promotes 4E-BP phosphorylation and acts systemically across tissues to shape the lifespan responses to dietary protein. Collectively, our findings establish Lsp2 as a novel translational regulator of TOP genes that mechanistically couples physiological ribosomal protein synthesis with organismal longevity.
