This two signal survival pathway cannot easily be fitted into a model where baffinduced activation of pi3k is sufficient for b cell survival. Molecular models for cell death need for an alternative model target theory does not describe all experimental data role of enzymatic repair target theory does not account for time or time dependence enzymatic repair of dna target theory does not define dna as the susceptible target repair of dna damage is central to the effectiveness of radiation in causing loss of.
However, mcl1 induction and b cell survival, was attenuated in pim2deficient b cells that were treated with baff in the presence of rapamycin. Together these findings define a novel molecular mechanism whereby heat stress induces pi3kmtorc2dependent akt survival signaling in. The mechanistic target of rapamycin mtor kinase is a conserved regulator of cell growth, proliferation, and survival. In cells, mtor is the catalytic subunit of two complexes called mtorc1 and mtorc2, which have distinct upstream regulatory signals and downstream substrates. Cancer cell survival following dna damagemediated premature senescence is regulated by mammalian target of rapamycin mtor dependent inhibition of sirtuin 1 back, jung ho1, hamid reza rezvani2,3. How pi3k activity contributes to b cell survival via a bcrdependent pathway remains to be elucidated. We next addressed the molecular mechanism by which mtor regulates. Heat stressinduced pi3kmtorc2dependent akt signaling is a. These data provide direct evidence for cell survival upon mtor inhibition through.
