mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

3.9K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Microtubules in Signaling

1.8K
The primary cilium, made up of microtubules, acts as antennae on the cell surfaces for relaying external stimuli into the cells. These fine hair-like structures are present, generally one per cell. These are non-motile cilia in a 9+0 microtubules arrangement, where the central pair of microtubules are absent. The primary cilia arise from the basal body embedded in the cell membrane. Intraflagellar transport (IFT) carries requisite proteins from the cytoplasm to the cilium because the primary...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

3.9K
The mammalian target of rapamycin  (mTOR) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates growth, proliferation, and cell survival in response to hormones, growth factors, or nutrient availability. This kinase exists in two structurally and functionally distinct forms: mTOR complex 1  (mTORC1) and mTOR complex 2  (mTORC2). The first form (mTORC1) is composed of a rapamycin-sensitive Raptor and proline-rich Akt substrate, PRAS40. In contrast,  mTORC2 consists of a...

Assembly of Complex Microtubule Structures01:32

Assembly of Complex Microtubule Structures

1.9K
Complex microtubule structures are present in resting cells and in dividing cells. In resting cells, they are responsible for maintaining the cellular architecture, tracks for intracellular transport, positioning of organelles, assembly of cilia and flagella. They mediate the bipolar spindle assembly for chromosomal segregation and positioning of the cell division plate in dividing cells. The formation of microtubule complex structures depends on the cell type, cell stage, and cell function.

Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)01:42

Microtubule Associated Proteins (MAPs)

4.5K
Microtubule function and architecture are regulated by an array of specialized proteins called microtubule-associated proteins or MAPs. These proteins are widespread across different organisms and have conserved protein motifs, like the multi-TOG domain for tubulin binding found in the CLASP family of MAPs. Some MAPs are lineage-specific based on their conserved domains. Their functions depend upon the cytoskeletal architecture and cell type they are located within. In-plant cells, a specific...

TGF - β Signaling Pathway01:16

TGF - β Signaling Pathway

7.6K
The TGF-β signaling pathway regulates cell growth, differentiation, adhesion, motility, and development. TGF-β ligands that induce TGF-β signaling are synthesized in their latent form. Several proteases or cell surface receptors such as integrins act upon the latent form, releasing the active ligand. There are three types of mammalian TGF-βs: (TGF-β1, TGF-β2, and TGF-β3) that bind as homodimers or heterodimers to TGF-β receptors. The TGF-β receptors...

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Genetics

Context:

  • Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a genetic multisystem disease and tumor predisposition syndrome.
  • Patients exhibit diverse changes across the brain, heart, skin, kidneys, and lungs.
  • Common TSC manifestations include CNS tumors, cardiac rhabdomyomas, and renal cysts/angiomyolipomas.

Purpose:

  • To determine the recommended imaging modalities for monitoring patients with tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) based on international guidelines.
  • To highlight the role of specific imaging techniques in the early detection and management of TSC-related complications.

Summary:

  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain and kidneys, alongside abdominal ultrasound, are the primary imaging modalities for TSC surveillance.
  • MRI offers excellent soft tissue contrast for characterizing CNS and renal lesions, while ultrasound efficiently detects renal abnormalities.
  • Multimodal imaging, including standard and functional MRI sequences, allows for reliable assessment of lesion type, malignancy, size, and morphology.

Impact:

  • Consistent follow-up with MRI and ultrasound facilitates early identification of TSC complications.
  • This imaging approach supports individualized treatment planning and optimizes long-term patient management.
  • Routine surveillance ensures comprehensive lifelong care for individuals with tuberous sclerosis complex.
