mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression03:03

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

3.8K
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...

Master Transcription Regulators02:23

Master Transcription Regulators

6.9K
Master transcription regulators are regulatory proteins that are predominantly responsible for regulating the expression of multiple genes. Often these genes work in concert to drive a  complex process. Activation of a master transcription regulator can lead to a cascade of transcriptional activation necessary for that outcome. These regulators can directly bind to the regulatory sequences of the various genes involved, or they can indirectly regulate transcription by binding to regulatory...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators02:04

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

6.8K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Epigenetic Regulation01:37

Epigenetic Regulation

3.0K
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Histone Modification02:32

Histone Modification

13.3K
The histone proteins have a flexible N-terminal tail extending out from the nucleosome. These histone tails are often subjected to post-translational modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. Particular combinations of these modifications form “histone codes” that influence the chromatin folding and tissue-specific gene expression.
Acetylation
The enzyme histone acetyltransferase adds acetyl group to the histones. Another enzyme, histone...

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway01:22

PI3K/mTOR/AKT Signaling Pathway

3.5K
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...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Epigenetics

Background:

  • N1-methyladenosine (m1A) is a prevalent RNA modification implicated in cancer development.
  • Understanding m1A characteristics in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is vital for identifying new therapeutic targets.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically investigate m1A modification patterns in HCC.
  • To develop a predictive model for HCC patient prognosis based on m1A regulators.
  • To explore the role of m1A in HCC cell growth and autophagy.

Main Methods:

  • Integrated analysis of the TCGA-LIHC database for m1A regulators.
  • Construction of a risk model using differentially expressed genes (DEGs) linked to m1A patterns and autophagy.
m1A regulators
  • In vitro experiments and immunohistochemistry to validate findings in HCC tissues.
  • Main Results:

    • A five-gene risk model (CDK5R2, TRIM36, DCAF8L, CYP26B, PAGE1) demonstrated significant prognostic value for HCC.
    • HCC tissues exhibited lower m1A levels compared to paracancerous tissues.
    • Reduced m1A levels correlated with poorer clinical outcomes and may inhibit HCC proliferation via autophagy.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed risk model, incorporating m1A regulators and autophagy, can predict HCC prognosis.
    • Decreased m1A levels present a potential therapeutic target for anti-HCC strategies.
