Impact of Pyrrolidine Dithiocarbamate and Interleukin-6 on Mammalian Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 Regulation and Global Protein Translation

Abstract: Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a proinflammatory cytokine that exerts a wide range of cellular, physiological, and pathophysiological responses. Pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) antagonizes the cellular responsiveness to IL-6 through impairment in signal transducer and activator of transcription-3 activation and downstream signaling. To further elucidate the biological properties of PDTC, global gene expression profiling of human HepG2 hepatocellular carcinoma cells was carried out after treatment with PDTC or IL-6… Show more

“…This finding is underlined by the observation that reduction of STAT3 phosphorylation by pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) correlates with reduction of mTOR signalling [38]. Of note, PDTC does not specifically inhibit STAT3 activation as it also inhibits e.g.…”

“…These findings are in contrast to systemic IL-6 inhibition, as an IL-6 receptor antibody was unable to rescue the suppression of muscle protein synthesis during the progression of cancer cachexia [ 27 ]. However, PDTC treatment has been shown to increase global protein translational capacity in non-muscle cells through a rapamycin independent mechanism [ 15 ]. Whether this mechanism occurs in skeletal muscle requires further investigation.…”

“…In addition, PDTC has been shown to suppress inflammatory processes through the inhibition of nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) signaling [ 12 14 ]. Moreover, gene expression related to protein translation and oxidative capacity can be upregulated by PDTC treatment in hepatocarcinoma (HepG2) cells [ 15 , 16 ]. Given that the previously mentioned signaling pathways are disrupted in several wasting conditions, there is growing interest to determine the therapeutic potential of PDTC treatment.…”

“…Notably, activated STAT3 promotes the expression of microRNA-21 [ 255 - 257 ]. Furthermore, IL-6-mediated activation of mTORC1 [ 258 ] may further increase ER-stress-mediated β-cell apoptosis.…”
