Rheb/mTORC1 signaling promotes kidney fibroblast activation and fibrosis.
Ras homolog enriched in brain (Rheb) is a small GTPase that regulates cell growth, differentiation, and survival by upregulating mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling. The role of Rheb/mTORC1 signaling in the activation of kidney fibroblasts and the development of kidney fibrosis remains largely unknown. In this study, we found that Rheb/mTORC1 signaling was activated in in...
متن کاملMolecular Signaling in Tumorigenesis of Gastric Cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is regarded as the fifth most common cancer and the third cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. Mechanism of GC pathogenesis is still unclear and relies on multiple factors, including environmental and genetic characteristics. One of the most important environmental factors of GC occurrence is infection with Helicobacter pylori that is classified as class one carcinogens...
متن کاملTSC2/Rheb signaling mediates ERK‐dependent regulation of mTORC1 activity in C2C12 myoblasts
The enhanced rate of protein synthesis in skeletal muscle cells results in a net increase in total protein content that leads to skeletal muscle growth/hypertrophy. The mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase (MEK)/extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK)-dependent regulation of the activity of mechanistic target of rapamycin (mTOR) and subsequent protein synthesis has been suggested as a re...
متن کاملNeuroprotective mechanisms of the Rheb/mTORC1 signaling pathway in the adult dopaminergic system in vivo
Despite intensive research effort, no effective pharmacological therapies for Parkinson’s disease (PD) have been developed. However, with the development of efficient gene delivery systems, gene therapy for PD has become a focus of research, and increasing evidences suggest that continuous production of neurotrophic factors plays a significant role in the functional restoration of the nigrostri...
متن کاملControl of TSC2-Rheb signaling axis by arginine regulates mTORC1 activity.
The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is the key signaling hub that regulates cellular protein homeostasis, growth, and proliferation in health and disease. As a prerequisite for activation of mTORC1 by hormones and mitogens, there first has to be an available pool of intracellular amino acids. Arginine, an amino acid essential during mammalian embryogenesis and early development...
