A mouse model of TSC1 reveals sex-dependent lethality from liver hemangiomas, and up-regulation of p70S6 kinase activity in Tsc1 null cells

TL;DR: A murine model of Tsc1 disease by gene targeting shows constitutive activation of the mTOR-S6K pathway due to loss of the TSC1 protein, hamartin, andHyperphosphorylation of S6 is also seen in kidney tumors in the heterozygote mice, suggesting that inhibition of this pathway may have benefit in control of TSC hamartomas.
Journal ArticleDOI

Loss of Tsc1/Tsc2 activates mTOR and disrupts PI3K-Akt signaling through downregulation of PDGFR

TL;DR: In this paper, TSC1/Tsc2 does not bind directly to mTOR, nor does it directly influence mTOR kinase activity or cellular phosphatase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

PDGFRs are critical for PI3K/Akt activation and negatively regulated by mTOR

TL;DR: PDGFR is a major target of negative feedback regulation in cells with activated mTOR, which limits the growth potential of TSC tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pathogenesis of tuberous sclerosis subependymal giant cell astrocytomas: biallelic inactivation of TSC1 or TSC2 leads to mTOR activation.

TL;DR: It is concluded that TSC SEGAs likely arise through a two-hit mechanism of biallelic inactivation of TSC1 or TSC2, leading to activation of the mTOR kinase.
