Lovastatin induces VSMC differentiation through inhibition of Rheb and mTOR.
It is becoming increasingly clear that cholesterol-independent effects of statins also contribute to the cardioprotective effects, but these mechanisms remain poorly understood. We investigated the effects of lovastatin on vascular smooth muscle phenotype. We have previously shown that mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) inhibition with rapamycin induces vascular smooth muscle cell...
متن کاملRheb Binds and Regulates the mTOR Kinase
BACKGROUND The target of rapamycin (TOR), in complex with the proteins raptor and LST8 (TOR complex 1), phosphorylates the p70S6K and 4E-BP1 to promote mRNA translation. Genetic evidence establishes that TOR complex activity in vivo requires the small GTPase Rheb, and overexpression of Rheb can rescue TOR from inactivation in vivo by amino-acid withdrawal. The Tuberous Sclerosis heterodimer (TS...
متن کاملRassf5 and Ndr kinases regulate neuronal polarity through Par3 phosphorylation in a novel pathway.
The morphology and polarized growth of cells depend on pathways that control the asymmetric distribution of regulatory factors. The evolutionarily conserved Ndr kinases play important roles in cell polarity and morphogenesis in yeast and invertebrates but it is unclear whether they perform a similar function in mammalian cells. Here, we analyze the function of mammalian Ndr1 and Ndr2 (also know...
متن کاملNup358 interacts with Dishevelled and aPKC to regulate neuronal polarity
Par polarity complex, consisting of Par3, Par6, and aPKC, plays a conserved role in the establishment and maintenance of polarization in diverse cellular contexts. Recent reports suggest that Dishevelled (Dvl), a cytoplasmic mediator of Wnt signalling, interacts with atypical protein kinase C and regulates its activity during neuronal differentiation and directed cell migration. Here we show th...
متن کاملSorting out Genes that Regulate Epithelial and Neuronal Polarity
Sorting Neuronal Proteins: Lessons from Epithelial Cells At an anatomical level, the polarities of neurons and epithelial cells appear quite different. In a motor neuron, a meter or more often separates axon terminals from David S.
