The geroprotectors trametinib and rapamycin combine additively to extend mouse healthspan and lifespan

ABSTRACT: Suppression of the insulin/IGF/mTORC1/Ras network ameliorates ageing in animals. Many drugs have targets in the network because of its roles in cancer and metabolic disease, and are candidates for repurposing as geroprotectors. Rapamycin, an established geroprotective drug, blocks mTORC1 signalling while trametinib inhibits the Ras/MEK/ERK pathway. We assessed survival and health of male and female mice treated with trametinib, rapamycin or their combination. Here we show, that trametinib treatment extended lifespan in both sexes and its combination with rapamycin caused additive prolongation. Combination-treatment reduced liver tumours in both sexes and spleen tumours in males, blocked the age-related increase in brain glucose uptake, and strongly reduced inflammation in brain, kidney, spleen and muscle and circulating levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines. Trametinib, which had no obvious side-effects, is therefore geroprotective in mice, and its combination with rapamycin is more effective than either drug alone, making it a candidate for repurposing as a geroprotector in humans.

Transcription profiling by array of mouse immortalized embryonic fibroblasts to identify genes regulated by mTORC1

Project description:Mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) complex 1 (mTORC1) is a critical regulator of cell growth by integrating multiple signals (nutrients, growth factors, energy and stress) and is frequently deregulated in many types of cancer. We used a robust experimental paradigm involving the combination of two interventions, one genetic and one pharmacologic to identify genes regulated transcriptionally by mTORC1. In Tsc2+/+, but not Tsc2-/- immortalized mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs), serum deprivation downregulates mTORC1 activity. In Tsc2-/- cells, abnormal mTORC1 activity can be downregulated by treatment with rapamycin (sirolimus). By contrast, rapamycin has little effect on mTORC1 in Tsc2+/+ cells in which mTORC1 is already inhibited by low serum. Thus, under serum deprived conditions, mTORC1 activity is low in Tsc2+/+ cells (untreated or rapamycin treated), high in Tsc2-/- cells, but lowered by rapamycin; a pattern referred to as a M-^Slow/low/high/lowM-^T or M-^SLLHLM-^T, which allowed the identification of genes regulated by mTORC1 by performing the appropriate comparisons

Defining key signaling nodes and therapeutic biomarkers in NF1-mutant cancers

Project description:The NF1 tumor suppressor encodes a RAS GTPase-Activating Protein (RasGAP). Accordingly, deregulated RAS signaling underlies the pathogenesis of NF1-mutant cancers. However, while various RAS effector pathways have been shown to function in these tumors, it is currently unclear which specific proteins within these broad signaling pathways represent optimal therapeutic targets. Here we identify mTORC1 as the key PI3K pathway component in NF1-mutant nervous system malignancies and conversely show that mTORC2 and AKT are dispensable. We also report that combined mTORC1/MEK inhibition is required to promote tumor regression in animal models, but only when the inhibition of both pathways is sustained. Transcriptional profiling studies were also used to establish a predictive signature of effective mTORC1/MEK inhibition in vivo. Within this signature, we unexpectedly found that the glucose transporter gene, GLUT1, was potently suppressed but only when both pathways were effectively inhibited. Moreover, unlike VHL and LKB1 mutant cancers, reduction of 18F-FDG uptake measured by FDG-PET required the effective suppression of both mTORC1 and MEK. Together these studies identify optimal and sub-optimal therapeutic targets in NF1-mutant malignancies and define a non-invasive means of measuring combined mTORC1/MEK inhibition in vivo, which can be readily incorporated into clinical trials. 8 samples, in duplicate, 2X vehicle, 2X Rapamycin, 2X PD-0325901, 2X Rapamycin/PD-0325901

Identification of Tfeb-dependent genes downstream of mTORC1 in MEFs

We found that mTORC1 regulated the expression of, among other lysosomal genes, V-ATPases through the transcription factor EB (TFEB, Tcfeb in the mouse). The knockdown of Tfeb resulted in the 'flattening' of the LLHL pattern and allowed the identification of genes regulated by mTORC1 through Tfeb Mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) wild type or deficient in Tsc2 expressing a Tfeb shRNA or scrambled shRNA vector were treated with 25 nM rapamycin or vehicle (methanol) for 24 h under low serum conditions (0.1% FBS)

Genetic and pharmacologic approach to identify genes regulated by mTORC1

TSC-Insensitive Rheb Mutations Induce Oncogenic Transformation Through a Combination of Hyperactive mTORC1 Signalling and Metabolic Reprogramming

Project description:The mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) is an important regulator of cellular metabolism that is commonly hyperactivated in cancer. Recent cancer genome screens have identified multiple mutations in Ras-homolog enriched in brain (Rheb), the primary activator of mTORC1, that might act as driver oncogenes through aberrant hyperactivation of mTORC1. Here, we show that a number of recurrently occurring Rheb mutants drive hyperactive mTORC1 signalling through differing levels of insensitivity to the primary inactivator of Rheb, Tuberous Sclerosis Complex. We show that two activated mutants, Rheb-T23M and E40K, strongly drive increased cell growth and proliferation and anchorage-independent growth resulting in enhanced tumour growth in vivo. Proteomic analysis of cells expressing the mutations revealed, surprisingly, that these two mutants promote distinct oncogenic pathways with Rheb-T23M driving metabolic reprogramming and an increased reliance of glycolysis, while Rheb-E40K interacts with AMPK to regulate eukaryotic elongation factor 2 (eEF2) and autophagy. Our findings suggest that unique ‘bespoke’ combination therapies may be utilised to treat cancers according to which Rheb mutant they harbour.

Therapeutic interference with mTorc1 restricts inflammation-associated and Stat3-dependent gastro-intestinal tumourigenesis in mice

Project description:Gp130 receptor engagement on neoplastic cells provides a link by which an inflammatory microenvironment facilitates tumour promotion. Although hyperactivation of the gp130-dependent Stat3 signalling node is commonly observed in solid tumours, Stat3 remains a challenging therapeutic target. To mimic excessive Stat3 signalling, we molecularly validate the gp130FF mouse as a preclinical model for inflammation-associated intestinal-type gastric cancer (IGC), with aberrant mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) pathway activity as shared feature. Accordingly, administration of the mTorc1 inhibitor RAD001 reversibly reduced IGC burden in gp130FF mice and suppressed colitis-associated cancer in wild-type mice. Since the therapeutic effect of RAD001 occurs independently of Stat3 hyperactivation, which is also dispensable for gp130-dependent engagement of the PI3K/Akt/mTorc1 pathway, we conclude that mTorc1 signalling limits tumour promoting Stat3 activity The mouse whole-genome gene expression profiling was performed on Illumina's MouseWG-6 v2.0 Expression BeadChips for 24 mice, with 8 mice in each group (gp130WT antral tissue, gp130FF unaffected antral tissue and gp130FF tumour tissue).
