mTORC1-dependent AMD1 regulation sustains polyamine metabolism in prostate cancer

Amaia Zabala-Letona, +68 more
- 28 Jun 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) regulates polyamine dynamics, a metabolic route that is essential for oncogenicity.
Journal ArticleDOI

A liaison between mTOR signaling, ribosome biogenesis and cancer

TL;DR: The most recent findings concerning the underlying mechanisms by which mTOR signaling controls ribosomes production and the potential impact of ribosome biogenesis in tumor development are discussed.

Epigenetic loss of RNA-methyltransferase NSUN5 in glioma targets ribosomes to drive a stress adaptive translational program

Maxime Janin, +58 more
TL;DR: It is found that human glioma cells undergo DNA methylation-associated epigenetic silencing of NSUN5, a candidate RNA methyltransferase for 5-methylcytosine, which exhibits tumor-suppressor characteristics in vivo gliomas models and leads to the emergence of an adaptive translational program for survival under conditions of cellular stress.
