The Role of Diacylglycerol Kinase ζ and Phosphatidic Acid in the Mechanical Activation of Mammalian Target of Rapamycin (mTOR) Signaling and Skeletal Muscle Hypertrophy

Abstract: Background: Diacylglycerol kinases (DGKs) synthesize phosphatidic acid (PA), and PA can activate growth-regulatory mTOR signaling. Results:The isoform of DGK is necessary for a mechanically induced increase in PA-mTOR signaling, and overexpression of DGK induces skeletal muscle hypertrophy. Conclusion: PA synthesized by DGK regulates the mechanical activation of mTOR signaling and hypertrophy. Significance: DGK is a potential target for treating muscle atrophy/wasting.

“…When amino acids are above a certain threshold these Rags dimerise with the correct GTP loading status in such a way as to allow mTORC1 complex assembly [101]. As we mentioned the amino acid induced activation of mTORC1 is distinct from the mechanical activation of mTORC1, which again is not yet fully defined, but is thought to be dependent upon the secondary messenger phosphatidic acid (PA) derived from diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) [102]. Because the mechanically sensitive pathways and the resistance exercise pathways are distinct, consuming essential amino acids following resistance exercise significantly activates mTORC1 above resistance exercise alone [103].…”

“…Activation of mTORC1 has been linked to a myriad of energetic and hormonal signals (e.g. growth factors, amino acids and mechanical stimuli) that converge on the lysosome to augment protein synthesis by enhancing its interaction with two direct activators, a small GTPase called Rheb (Inoki et al, 2003a,b) and the glycerophospholipid phosphatidic acid (PA) (Sun et al, 2008;Yoon et al, 2011;You et al, 2014).…”
