Fertility: The Role of mTOR Signaling and KIT Ligand
نویسنده
چکیده
Activation of a limited pool of diminishing ovarian follicles determines women's reproductive lifespan. A recent rodent study describes the role of mTOR signaling and KIT ligand in granulosa cells of primordial follicles for follicle activation and for reproductive lifespan regulation.

The Role of Mammalian Target of Rapamycine Signaling Pathway in Central Nervous System Cancers: A Review
Mammalian mechanistic target of rapamycine (mTOR) is a conserved serine/threonine kinase in the cellular PI3K/Akt/mTOR signaling pathway. This pathway is modified by cellular alterations such as level of energy, growth factors, stresses, as well as the increased environmental level of cancerous cytokines. In general, increase of this kinase protein function is seen in various types of cancers, ...
متن کاملChronic Morphine Preconditioning: Interaction of mTOR and iNOS in protection against Ischemia/Reperfusion injury
Chronic morphine (CM) treatment increases the phosphorylation of the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which confers neuroprotection against ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. Besides its important regulatory role in the proliferation, metabolism, and survival of cells, the mTOR is critically involved in intracellular signaling events during I/R injury. In the present study, we investigated...

متن کاملEupafolin ameliorates lipopolysaccharide-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy via PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway
Objective(s): Eupafolin, a major active component of Eupatorium perfoliatum L., has anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS) is responsible for myocardial depression. A line of evidences revealed that LPS induces autophagy in cardiomyocytes injury. This study aims to evaluate the effects of eupafolin on LPS-induced cardiomyocyte autophagy...
متن کاملRegulation of ovarian folliculogenesis by Kit Ligand and the c-Kit system in mammals
The system comprised of Kit Ligand (KL) and its receptor c-Kit has proven to play a role in normal female reproduction and fertility in mammals. Gene expression studies have revealed that biological activities of ligands and receptors of the KL/c-Kit system are important in controlling apoptosis and cellular proliferation in reproductive tissues. Collectively, these studies have provided a bett...
