“…Rictor, an important component of mTORC2, contributes to glucose homeostasis in murine muscle tissue (Kumar et al, 2008), TORC2 C. elegans mutants show modulation of lifespan by affecting feeding and metabolism of different diets (Soukas et al, 2009), TORC2 is a mediator of proliferative and survival signals in cancer cells (Fang et al, 2012) and a study in mouse embryonic fibroblasts showed that mTORC2 regulates the TLR-mediated inflammatory response via FoxO1 (Brown et al, 2011). In addition, PRR5L, which is part of mTORC2, has been suggested to play a role in apoptosis in HeLa cells, but whether it is pro-apoptotic or antiapoptotic remains unclear (Thedieck et al, 2007).…”
