Comprehensive Evaluation of Rapamycin’s Specificity as an mTOR inhibitor

ABSTRACT: Rapamycin is a naturally derived macrolide antibiotic that demonstrates immunosuppressive, chemotherapeutic, and anti-ageing effects in model organisms and humans. Importantly, Rapamycin and its analogues are currently used in the clinic against various cancers and neurological disorders. Although Rapamycin is widely perceived as a specific allosteric inhibitor of mTOR (mechanistic target of rapamycin), the master regulator of cellular and organismal physiology, its specificity has not been thoroughly evaluated so far. In fact, previous studies in cells and in mice suggested that Rapamycin may be also acting independently from mTOR to influence various cellular functions. Here, we generated a gene-edited cell line, expressing a Rapamycin-resistant mTOR mutant (mTORRR), and assessed the effects of Rapamycin treatment on the transcriptome and proteome of control and mTORRR-expressing cells. Our data reveal a striking specificity of Rapamycin towards mTOR, demonstrated by virtually no changes in mRNA or protein levels in Rapamycin-treated mTORRR cells, even following prolonged drug treatment. Overall, this study provides the first comprehensive and conclusive assessment of Rapamycin’s specificity, with important potential implications for ageing research and therapeutics.

Inhibition of S6K lowers age-related inflammation and immunosenescence and increases lifespan via the endolysosomal system

Project description:The nutrient-sensing Target of Rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1) is an evolutionarily conserved regulator of longevity. S6 kinase (S6K) is an essential downstream mediator for the effect of TORC1 on longevity. However, mechanistic insights on how TORC1-S6K signalling promotes lifespan and healthspan are still limited. Here we show that activity of S6K in the Drosophila fat body is essential for rapamycin-mediated longevity. Fat-body-specific activation of S6K blocked lifespan extension upon rapamycin feeding and induced accumulation of multilamellar lysosomal enlargements. Besides, fat body-specific S6K knockdown extended lifespan in files. We performed proteomics for Drosophila fat body to explore the fat body-specific regulation of protein expression by two separate datasets: fat body-specific S6K activation (Lsp2GS>S6KCA) with rapamycin treatment; and fat body-specific S6K inhibition (Lsp2GS>S6KRNAi). To assess if the age-prolonging mechanisms of TORC1-S6K signalling are conserved between flies and mammals, we assessed the impact of rapamycin treatment in the proteome of liver from C3B6F1 mice (F1 hybrids of C3H/HeOuJ females and C57Bl/6N males).

Full geroprotection from brief rapamycin treatment by persistently increased intestinal autophagy

Project description:The licensed drug rapamycin has potential to be repurposed for geroprotection. A key challenge is to avoid the adverse side-effects of clinical dosing regimes. Here we show a profound memory effect of brief rapamycin treatment. Brief, early adult treatment extended lifespan in Drosophila to the same degree as lifelong dosing. Lasting memory of earlier rapamycin treatment was mediated by elevated autophagy in enterocytes of the gut, accompanied by increased intestinal spermidine levels and improved structure and function of the ageing intestine. Brief elevation of autophagy itself induced a long-term increase in autophagy. In mice, short-term, 3-month treatment also induced a full memory effect, with enhanced autophagy in Paneth cells, improved Paneth cell architecture and gut barrier function at levels induced by chronic treatment, even 6 months after rapamycin was withdrawn. Past rapamycin treatment also enhanced the regenerative potential of aged intestine in intestinal organoids. Full geroprotective effects of chronic rapamycin treatment can thus be obtained with a brief pulse of the drug.

Nucleolar stress caused by arginine-rich peptides triggers a ribosomopathy and accelerates ageing in mice

Project description:Nucleolar stress (NS) kills cells by p53-dependent and independent manners. To investigate the mechanisms of p53-indendendent toxicity, we here used (PR)n arginine-rich peptides as inducers of NS, which are found in patients of some neurodegenerative diseases. Although these peptides generate NS, how this translates to toxicity is poorly understood. We here reveal that whereas (PR)n expression leads to an overall decrease in protein abundance for the majority of the proteome, this occurs concomitant to an accumulation of free ribosomal proteins in the cytoplasm, which is a hallmark of ribosomopathies. Conversely, cells with acquired resistance to (PR)n peptides present a global downregulation of ribosomal proteins and low levels of mTOR signaling. In mice, systemic expression of (PR)97 drives widespread NS and accelerated ageing, associated to an increased expression of ribosomal proteins and mTOR hyperactivation. Furthermore, the progeroid phenotype of (PR)97-expressing mice is alleviated by rapamycin. Importantly, we show that the generalized accumulation of free ribosomal proteins is not restricted to (PR)n peptides, but is a common outcome in response to chemical or genetic perturbations that generate NS such as Actinomycin D, TIF-IA depletion or the expression or mutant HMGB1 forms recently associated to rare human diseases. Together, our study provides in vivo evidence for the role of NS as a driver of ageing in mammals, and describes a general model to understand the mechanisms behind p53-independent cell toxicity caused by NS.

Chemical proteomics reveals that the anticancer drug everolimus affects ubiquitin-proteasome system

Project description:Rapamycin is a natural antifungal, immunosuppressive, and antiproliferative compound allosterically inhibiting mTOR complex 1. The ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) responsible for protein turnover is usually not listed among the pathways affected by mTOR signaling; however, a number of reports indicated the interplay between UPS and mTOR. It is also reported that rapamycin and analogs can allosterically inhibit the proteasome itself. We studied the molecular effect of rapamycin and its analogs (rapalogs), everolimus, and temsirolimus by expression chemical proteomics on A549 cell line. The analysis revealed that the cellular response to everolimus differs dramatically from that of rapamycin and temsirolimus. In cluster analysis the effect of everolimus was similar to that of bortezomib, a well-established proteasome inhibitor. UPS-related pathways were enriched in the cluster of proteins specifically up-regulated upon everolimus and bortezomib treatments, suggesting that both compounds have similar proteasome inhibition effects. In particular, the total amount of ubiquitin was significantly elevated in the samples treated with everolimus and bortezomib, and the analysis of the polyubiquitination patterns revealed elevated intensities of the ubiquitin peptide with a GG modification at K48 residue, consistent with a bottleneck in the proteasomal protein degradation. Moreover, everolimus treatment resulted in both ubiquitin phosphorylation and a significant amount of semi-tryptic peptides illustrating the induction of protease activity. These observations suggest that everolimus affects the ubiquitin-proteasome system in a unique way and its mechanism of action is strikingly different from that of its close chemical analogs, rapamycin and temsirolimus.

Transcriptional profiling of ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitors reveals mTORC1 and mTORC2 specific regulatory networks

Project description:The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central regulator of cell growth and proliferation in response to growth factor and nutrient signaling. Consequently, this kinase is implicated in metabolic diseases including cancer and diabetes so there is great interest in understanding mTOR regulatory networks. mTOR exists in two functionally distinct complexes, mTORC1 and mTORC2, and whereas the natural product rapamycin only inhibits a subset of mTORC1 functions, recently developed ATP-competitive mTOR inhibitors have revealed new roles for both complexes. To examine the complete spectrum of mTOR responsive cellular processes, we compared the transcriptional profiles of mammalian cells treated with rapamycin versus the ATP-competitive inhibitor PP242. Our analysis provides a genome-wide view of the transcriptional outputs of mTOR signaling that are insensitive to rapamycin. Gene expression in mouse NIH3T3 cells was measured after 18 hour treatment with DMSO (control), 50 nM rapamycin, or 2 uM PP242. Four independent experiments were performed for each condition.

Mitochondria shed large SPOTs during infection-induced import stress to remodel their outer membrane

Project description:Despite the essential role of the outer mitochondrial membrane (OMM) in cellular homeostasis, little is known of the mechanisms that remodel it during naturally occurring stresses. Here, we report a previously undescribed structure we term SPOT (structure positive for outer mitochondrial membrane) that is up to 10 m in diameter and emerges from the OMM during infection with the human parasite Toxoplasma gondii. SPOTs are distinct from mitochondria-derived vesicles and compartments, and mediate the depletion of the OMM proteins MFN1 and MFN2 that restrict parasite growth. The formation of SPOTs depends on the parasite effector protein TgMAF1 and the host mitochondrial import receptor TOM70, which is required for optimal parasite proliferation. TOM70 enables TgMAF1 to interact with host SAM50, a major translocase of the OMM, and SAM50 inhibition or acute mitochondrial import stress are sufficient to promote SPOT formation independently of infection. We propose that Toxoplasma exploits SPOTs, a cellular response to OMM import stress, to promote its growth.

Gene expression data from rapamycin resistant and sensitive cell lines

Project description:The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) is a central regulator of cell proliferation. Inhibitors of mTOR are being evaluated as anti-tumor agents. Given the emerging role of microRNAs (miRNAs) in tumorgenesis we hypothesized that miRNAs could play important roles in the response of tumors to mTOR inhibitors. Rapamycin resistant myogenic cells developed by long-term rapamycin treatment showed extensive reprogramming of miRNAs expression, characterized by up-regulation of the mir-17~92 and related clusters and down-regulation of tumor-suppressor miRNAs. Antagonists of oncogenic miRNA families and mimics of tumor suppressor miRNAs (let-7) restored rapamycin sensitivity in resistant tumor cells. This study identified miRNAs as new downstream components of the mTOR-signaling pathway, which may determine the response of tumors to mTOR inhibitors. Total RNA extraction and hybridization on Affymetrix microarrays of rapamycin sensitive (RS) cells (BC3H1, mouse brain tumor cell line with myogenic properties, ATCC) cultured in Dulbecco’s modified essential medium (DMEM) media supplemented with 20% fetal bovine serum (FBS), penicillin (100 U/ml) and streptomycin (100 mg/ml). Rapamycin resistant cells (RR1) were developed by culturing BC3H1 cells in the presence of 1 uM rapamycin for 6 months. Three samples in triplicates: 1) Rapamycin sensitive cells treated with DMSO for 24 h(BC3H1, reference), 2) Rapamycin sensitive cells treated for 24 h with 100 nM rapamycin (BC3H1+R), 3) Rapamycin resistant cells constantly treated with 1uM Rapamycion (RR1+R).

TLR-mediated type I IFN induction in pDCs requires the rapamycin-sensitive PI3K-mTOR-p70S6K pathway

Project description: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’ mediators of mTOR p70S6K1,2 kinases during pDC activation via Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9) blocked the interaction of TLR9 with the adaptor MyD88 and the subsequent activation of interferon response factor 7 (IRF7), resulting in impaired IFN-alpha production. Microarray analysis confirmed that inhibition of mTOR by the immunosuppressive drug rapamycin suppressed anti-viral and anti-inflammatory gene expression. Consistent with this, targeting rapamycin-encapsulated microparticles to antigen-presenting cells in vivo resulted in a diminution of IFN-alpha production in response to CpG DNA or the yellow fever vaccine virus strain 17D. Thus, mTOR signaling plays a critical role in TLR-mediated IFN-alpha responses by pDCs. CpGA is a TLR9 agonist. pDCs were isolated from mouse spleen or human PBMC. The effect of rapamycin on pDCs IFN-alpha production as induced by TLR ligands was studied. The mechanism of rapamycin effect was dissected in RAW cell line.
