The mammalian target of rapamycin complex1 (mTORC1) can response to amino acid to regulate metabolism and cell growth. GATOR2 act as important role in amino acid mediated mTORC1 signaling pathway by repressing GTPase activity (GAP) of GATOR1. However, it is still unclear how GATOR2 regulates mTORC1 signaling pathway. Here, we found that K63-ubiquitination of Sce13, one component of GATOR2, suppresses the mTORC1 activity by lessening the inter-interaction of GATOR2. Mechanistically, the ubiquitination of Sec13 was mediated by SPOP. Subsequently, the ubiquitination of Sec13 attenuated its interaction with the other component of GATOR2, thus suppressing the activity of mTORC1. Importantly, the deficiency of SPOP promoted the faster proliferation and migration of breast cancer cells, which was attenuated by knocking down of Sec13. Therefore, SPOP can act as a tumor suppressor gene by negatively regulating mTORC1 signaling pathway.

Purpose: Available research indicates that the mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling pathway is significantly correlated with lung cancer brain metastasis (BM). This study established a clinical predictive model for assessing the risk of BM based on the mTORC1-related single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs).
Methods: In this single-center retrospective study, 395 patients with non-small cell lung cancer were included.

Objective: Some cells in temporomandibular joint (TMJ) cartilage undergo proliferation in response to negative pressure, which can be induced in vivo by creating bilateral anterior elevation (BAE). TMJ cartilage harbours CD90-expressing cells, and CD90 expression increases under certain controlled conditions. The parathyroid hormone-related peptide (PTHrP) nuclear localization segment (NLS) promotes chondrocyte proliferation, and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signalling plays a regulatory role in promoting PTHrP transcription.

The intraprostatic inflammatory infiltrate is characterized by Th1 CD4 T cells, and its molecular mechanism is not well defined. This study explored the mechanisms responsible for the alteration of Th1/Th17 differentiation of CD4 T cells in chronic non-bacterial prostatitis (CNP). CNP rats were induced by the administration of testosterone and 17β-estradiol.

Autophagy-dependent survival relies on a crucial oscillatory response during cellular stress. Although oscillatory behaviour is typically associated with processes like the cell cycle or circadian rhythm, emerging experimental and theoretical evidence suggests that such periodic dynamics may explain conflicting experimental results in autophagy research. In this study, we demonstrate that oscillatory behaviour in the regulation of the non-selective, stress-induced macroautophagy arises from a series of interlinked negative and positive feedback loops within the mTORC1-AMPK-ULK1 regulatory triangle.

Increased blood amino acid levels (hyperaminoacidemia) stimulate pancreas expansion by unclear mechanisms. Here, by genetic and pharmacological disruption of glucagon receptor (GCGR) in mice and zebrafish, we found that the ensuing hyperaminoacidemia promotes pancreatic acinar cell proliferation and cell hypertrophy, which can be mitigated by a low protein diet in mice. In addition to mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling, acinar cell proliferation required , the most highly expressed amino acid transporter gene in both species.
