...mTORC1 controls growth (cell size), proliferation (cell number) and metabolism directly, by modulating eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding proteins (4E-BP 1, 2 and 3) and ribosomal protein S6 kinases (S6K 1 and 2), and indirectly, by attenuating AKT signaling via an mTORC1/ S6K-mediated negative feedback loop.(1-10) How TSC/mTOR signaling regulates β-cell mass expansion is not completely understood....

...This effect is mediated by an S6K1-dependent negative feedback loop resulting in phosphorylation and degradation of IRS1.(1-4) Until recently, most of the evidence supporting the role of mTORC1 in insulin-sensitive tissues was derived from the use of rapamycin and alterations in insulin sensitivity in global S6K and 4E-bp-deficient mice....

...45 However, chronic activation of S6K negatively regulates IRS1, therefore inactivating the PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.1-4,47 Phosphorylation of the 4E-BPs triggers the release of eIF4E, initiating cap-dependent translation.48,49 This arm of mTORC1 signaling has been linked to induction of cell proliferation independent of the mTORC1-S6K1 arm.50 Together these substrates downstream of mTORC1 play an integral role in mRNA translation initiation and progression, thus controlling the rate of protein synthesis....

...The current evidence supports the concept that mTORC1 is active in states of increased insulin demand and plays a major role in β-cell expansion and proliferation induced by AKT and insulin resistance.(1,4,5,9,60,68) Most of our knowledge about the role of mTORC1 in β cells comes from in vitro experiments using insulinoma cells or isolated islets treated with rapamycin....

...One consequence of chronic mTORC1 hyperactivation is the induction of an S6K1-dependent negative feedback loop, leading to attenuation of AKT signaling in multiple tissues and insulin resistance.(1-4) It has been proposed that in contrast to classic feedback loops, where a threshold is reached before inhibition occurs, mTORC1 seems to suppress growth factor signaling in a more gradual and continual fashion....
