Calcium mediates glomerular filtration through calcineurin and mTORC2/Akt signaling.
Alterations to the structure of the glomerular filtration barrier lead to effacement of podocyte foot processes, leakage of albumin, and the development of proteinuria. To better understand the signaling pathways involved in the response of the glomerular filtration barrier to injury, we studied freshly isolated rat glomeruli, which allows for the monitoring and pharmacologic manipulation of ea...
متن کاملmTORC2 sustains thermogenesis via Akt‐induced glucose uptake and glycolysis in brown adipose tissue
Activation of non-shivering thermogenesis (NST) in brown adipose tissue (BAT) has been proposed as an anti-obesity treatment. Moreover, cold-induced glucose uptake could normalize blood glucose levels in insulin-resistant patients. It is therefore important to identify novel regulators of NST and cold-induced glucose uptake. Mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) mediates insulin-stim...
متن کاملAdipose tissue mTORC2 regulates ChREBP-driven de novo lipogenesis and hepatic glucose metabolism
Adipose tissue de novo lipogenesis (DNL) positively influences insulin sensitivity, is reduced in obesity, and predicts insulin resistance. Therefore, elucidating mechanisms controlling adipose tissue DNL could lead to therapies for type 2 diabetes. Here, we report that mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) functions in white adipose tissue (WAT) to control expression of the lipoge...
متن کاملThe Mediation of Hepatic Lipogenesis Through Estrogens.
Estrogens have been shown to protect against various diseases and disastrous metabolic consequences of poor diets. Although a large body of research demonstrates estrogen's ability to control food intake, adipogenesis, and oxidative stress, research regarding the effects of estrogens on hepatic lipogenesis, steatosis, and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is only now accumulating. Estrogen defi...
متن کاملMFN2 suppresses cancer progression through inhibition of mTORC2/Akt signaling
The mitochondrial GTPase mitofusin-2 (MFN2) has previously been reported to play a role in regulating cell proliferation, apoptosis and differentiation in a number of cell types. Here, we report that breast cancer patients with low MFN2 expression are associated with poor prognosis as compared to patients with high MFN2 expression. We find that MFN2 knockout from MCF7 and A549 cells via Crispr/...
