Project description:Tuberous Sclerosis Complex (TSC) is caused by germline TSC1 or TSC2 mutations, leading to hyperactivation of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) and tumors in multiple organs including the brain, heart, lung (lymphangioleiomyomatosis), and kidney (angiomyolipoma and renal cell carcinoma). Previously, we found that TFEB is constitutively active in models of TSC. To determine the impact of TFEB in vivo, we generated two novel mouse models of TSC, resulting in premature death, in which kidney pathology was the primary phenotype. RNA sequencing revealed that lysosomal and proteasomal gene pathways were the most highly upregulated in the TSC2-deficient kidneys. Knockout of TFEB rescued both kidney pathology and overall survival in both models, indicating that TFEB is the primary driver of renal disease in TSC. Importantly, mTORC1 activity, which was elevated in the TSC2 knockout kidneys, was normalized by TFEB knockout. Knockdown of Rheb or treatment of TSC2-deficient cells with Rapamycin paradoxically increases TFEB phosphorylation at the mTORC1-site (S211) and relocalizes TFEB from the nucleus to the cytoplasm via a Rag-dependent mechanism. Accordingly, treatment of TSC2 knockout mice with Rapamycin normalized lysosomal gene expression, similar to TFEB knockout, suggesting that the beneficial effects of Rapamycin in TSC are TFEB-dependent. These results change the view of the mechanisms leading to mTORC1 hyperactivation in TSC and may lead to novel therapeutic avenues for the treatment of TSC.

Project description:Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a dominantly inherited disease, caused by hyperactivation of the mTORC1 pathway and characterized by the development of hamartomas and benign tumors, also in the brain. Among the neurological manifestations associated with TSC, the tumor progression of static subependymal nodules (SENs) into subependymal giant cell astrocytomas (SEGAs) is one of the major causes of morbidity and shortened life expectancy. To date, mouse modeling has failed in reproducing these two lesions. Here we report that simultaneous hyperactivation of mTORC1 and Akt pathways by co-deletion of Tsc1 and Pten, selectively in postnatal neural stem cells (pNSCs), is required for the formation of bona fide SENs and SEGAs. Notably, both lesions closely recapitulate the pathognomonic morphological and molecular features of the corresponding human abnormalities. The establishment of long-term expanding pNSC lines from mouse SENs and SEGAs made possible the identification of mTORC2 as one of the mediators conferring tumorigenic potential to SEGA pNSCs. Of note, in spite of concurrent Akt hyperactivation in mouse brain lesions, single mTOR inhibition by rapamycin was sufficient to strongly impair mouse SEGA growth. This study provides the first evidence that, concomitant with mTORC1 hyperactivation, sustained activation of Akt and mTORC2 in pNSCs is a mandatory step for the induction of SENs and SEGAs and, at the same time, makes available an unprecedented NSC-based in vivo/in vitro model to be exploited for identifying actionable targets in TSC.

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-bM-^@M-^\low/low/high/lowM-bM-^@M-^] or M-bM-^@M-^\LLHLM-bM-^@M-^]. 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)

Project description:The mechanisms that regulate T cell quiescence are poorly understood. We report that tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (Tsc1) establishes a quiescent program in naïve T cells by controlling cell size, cell cycle entry, and responses to T cell receptor stimulation. Loss of quiescence predisposed Tsc1-deficient T cells to apoptosis that depleted conventional T cells and invariant natural killer T cells. Loss of Tsc1 function dampened in vivo immune responses to bacterial infection. Tsc1-deficient T cells exhibited increased mTORC1 but diminished mTORC2 activities, with mTORC1 activation essential for the disruption of immune homeostasis. Therefore, Tsc1-dependent control of mTOR is crucial in establishing naïve T cell quiescence to facilitate adaptive immune function. Naïve CD4 and CD8 T cells from wild-type and Tsc1-deficient mice (in triplicates each group) were stimulated with or without TCR signaling. RNA was analyzed by microarrays. WT/KO for 0 and 4 hr for CD4 (triplicates), and WT/KO for 0 hr for CD8 (duplicates).

Project description:Many biological processes involve the mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1). Thus, the challenge of deciphering mTORC1-mediated functions during normal and pathological states in the central nervous system is steep. Because mTORC1 is at the core of translation, we have investigated mTORC1 function in global and regional protein expression. Activation of mTORC1 has been generally regarded to promote translation. Few but recent works have demonstrated that suppression of mTORC1 can promote local protein synthesis. Moreover, excessive mTORC1 activation during disease states represses basal and activity-induced protein synthesis. To determine the role of mTORC1 activation in protein expression, we have used an unbiased, large scale proteomic approach. We provide evidence that a brief repression of mTORC1 activity in vivo by rapamycin has little affect globally, yet leads to a significant remodeling of synaptic proteins, in particular those proteins that reside in the postsynaptic density (PSD). We have also found that curtailing the activity of mTORC1 bidirectionally alters the expression of proteins associated with epilepsy, Alzheimer’s disease, and autism spectrum disorder (ASD)—neurological disorders that exhibit elevated mTORC1 activity. Through a protein-protein interaction network analysis, we have identified common proteins shared among these mTOR-related diseases. One such protein is Parkinson protein 7 (PARK7) which has been implicated in Parkinson’s disease, yet not associated with epilepsy, AD, or ASD. To verify our finding, we provide evidence that the protein expression of PARK7, including new protein synthesis, is sensitive to mTORC1 inhibition. Using cultured neurons from a mouse model of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a disease that displays both epilepsy and ASD phenotypes and has overactive mTOR signaling, we show that PARK7 protein is elevated in the dendrites. Our work offers a comprehensive view of mTORC1 and its role in regulating regional protein expression in normal and diseased states.
