The mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) is pivotal in programming cellular lipid homeostasis for the structural and functional integrity of cells. Dysregulation of mTOR and consequent altered lipid metabolism are common features in various diseases, including cancers, making mTOR signaling a p...

Hepatic lipid homeostasis is controlled by multiple processes, including VLDL-TG secretion. We have previously shown that the FLCN/TFE3 branch of mTORC1 signaling controls hepatic fatty acid oxidation and de novo lipogenesis to protect mice from MAFLD. We now show that the FLCN/TFE3 pathway also con...

Brown and beige adipose tissue are emerging as distinct endocrine organs. These tissues are functionally associated with skeletal muscle, adipose tissue metabolism and systemic energy expenditure, suggesting an interorgan signaling network. Using metabolomics, we identify 3-methyl-2-oxovaleric acid,...

To examine changes in tyrosine kinase activity in colorectal cancer cell culture samples treated with apoptosis inhibitors or/and mTOR inhibitors, under normoxic or/and hypoxic experimental conditions.

Ulcerative colitis (UC) involves epithelial injury, gut microbial dysbiosis, disturbed microbial metabolism, and mucosal inflammation. This study evaluated the protective effect of Schisandra chinensis (SC) against dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced UC and investigated the underlying microbiota...

The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase is a master regulator of protein synthesis that couples nutrient sensing to cell growth and cancer. However, the downstream translationally regulated nodes of gene expression that may direct cancer development are poorly characterized. Employing riboso...

The TSC/mTOR (tuberous sclerosis complex/mammalian target of rapamycin) pathway has a central role in cell growth and is involved in human tumorigenesis. Here, we demonstrate an unexpected role of TSC2 and mTOR in regulating key inflammatory cytokines in monocytes, macrophages, and dendritic cells a...

Robust type I interferon (IFN-alpha/beta) production in plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) is critical for anti-viral immunity. Here we demonstrated a role for the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway in regulating interferon production by pDCs. Inhibition of mTOR or the ‘downstream’ mediat...

Graft-versus-host-disease (GvHD) is the main complication of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). Here we report studies of a patient with chronic GVHD (cGVHD) carrying persistent CD4+ T cell clonal expansion which harbored somatic mTOR, NFKB2, and TLR2 mutations. Functional an...

We explored potential bypass mechanisms to PI3K/mTOR-directed therapy in KRAS mutant CRC models, utilizing genetically engineered mouse models (GEMM) to generate acquired resistance to the targeted dual PI3K/mTOR small molecule inhibitor PF-04691502. Transcriptomic analysis revealed a dynamic stem-l...
