Regulation of Peroxisome Proliferator–Activated Receptor-γ Activity by Mammalian Target of Rapamycin and Amino Acids in Adipogenesis

Abstract: Adipocyte differentiation is a developmental process that is critical for metabolic homeostasis and nutrient signaling. The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) mediates nutrient signaling to regulate cell growth, proliferation, and diverse cellular differentiation. It has been reported that rapamycin, the inhibitor of mTOR and an immunosuppressant, blocks adipocyte differentiation, but the mechanism underlying this phenomenon remains unknown. Here we show that mTOR plays a critical role in 3T3-L1 preadipocyte… Show more

“…At this time point of differentiation, the S6 protein becomes phosphorylated. Both phosphorylation events argue for an increase of the mTOR kinase activity during the adipogenesis (43), which is in agreement with reports in 3T3-L1 cells (44). Down-regulation of the mTORC1 occurs on day 6 through expression changes of the adaptor protein Raptor.…”

“…[41][42][43] However, in this study, we did not observe frequent activation of mTOR in tumors of smooth muscle cell, adipocyte, or chondrocyte origin in contrast to rhabdomyosarcoma. Probably, the functional involvement of mTOR is different in tumor vs normal tissue, or the involvement of mTOR in those tumors may be transient in the specific stage during oncogenesis.…”

“…3, June 2014 adipocytes, suggested that rapamycin affected the maintenance of adipogenic characteristics in mature adipocytes. Their study also showed that C/EBPβ and C/EBPδ levels would highly increased one day after induction, and after day 4 it was gradually decreased until day 8 in control group [17]. It is similar with the result of this study.…”
