Abstract
Cell can integrate the caspase family and mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) signaling in response to cellular stress triggered by environment. It is necessary here to elucidate the direct response and interaction mechanism between the two signaling pathways in regulating cell survival and determining cell fate under cellular stress. Members of the caspase family are crucial regulators of inflammation, endoplasmic reticulum stress response and apoptosis. mTOR signaling is known to mediate cell growth, nutrition and metabolism. For instance, over-nutrition can cause the hyperactivation of mTOR signaling, which is associated with diabetes. Nutrition deprivation can inhibit mTOR signaling via SH3 domain-binding protein 4. It is striking that Ras GTPase-activating protein 1 is found to mediate cell survival in a caspase-dependent manner against increasing cellular stress, which describes a new model of apoptosis. The components of mTOR signaling-raptor can be cleaved by caspases to control cell growth. In addition, mTOR is identified to coordinate the defense process of the immune system by suppressing the vitality of caspase-1 or regulating other interferon regulatory factors. The present review discusses the roles of the caspase family or mTOR pathway against cellular stress and generalizes their interplay mechanism in cell fate determination.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Drug resistance from apoptosis is a challenging issue with different cancer types, and there is an interest in identifying other means of inducing cytotoxicity. Here, treatment of neuroblastoma cells with oxyresveratrol (OXYRES), a natural antioxidant, led to dose-dependent cell death and increased autophagic flux along with activation of caspase-dependent apoptosis. METHODS For cell viability, we performed the CCK-8 assay. Protein expression changes were with Western blot and immunocytochemistry. Silencing of proteins was with siRNA. The readouts for cell cycle, mitochondria membrane potential, caspase-3, autophagy and apoptosis were performed with flow cytometry. RESULTS Phosphorylation of p38 MAPK increased with OXYRES treatment and inhibition of p38 reduced autophagy and cell death from OXYRES. In contrast, PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling decreased in the target cells with OXYRES and inhibition of PI3K or mTOR enhanced OXYRES-mediated cytotoxicity with increased levels of autophagy. Modulation of either of the apoptosis and autophagy flux pathways affected the extent of cell death by OXYRES, but did not affect the indicators of these pathways with respect to each other. Both pathways were independent of ROS generation or p53 activation. CONCLUSION OXYRES led to cell death from autophagy, which was independent of apoptosis induction. The OXYRES effects were due to changes in the activity levels of p38 MAPK and PI3K/AKT/mTOR. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE With two independent and parallel pathways for cytotoxicity induction in target cells, this study puts forward a potential utility for OXYRES or the pathways it represents as novel means of inducing cell death in neuroblastoma cells.

PI3K-PTEN dysregulation leads to mTOR-driven upregulation of the core clock gene BMAL1 in normal and malignant epithelial cells. Oncotarget 2016; 7:42393-42407. [PMID: 27285754 PMCID: PMC5173143 DOI: 10.18632/oncotarget.9877] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/13/2016] [Accepted: 05/19/2016] [Indexed: 01/23/2023] Open
Abstract
Dysfunctional clock signaling is observed in a variety of pathological conditions. Many members of the clock gene family are upregulated in tumor cells. Here, we explored the consequences of a commonly disrupted signaling pathway in head and neck cancer on the regulation of circadian clock genes. PTEN is a key molecular controller of the PI3K signaling, and loss of PTEN function is often observed in a variety of cancers. Our main goal was to determine whether PTEN regulates circadian clock signaling. We found that oxidation-driven loss of PTEN function resulted in the activation of mTOR signaling and activation of the core clock protein BMAL1 (also known as ARNTL). The PTEN-induced BMAL1 upregulation was further confirmed using small interference RNA targeting PTEN, and in vivo conditional depletion of PTEN from the epidermis. We observed that PTEN-driven accumulation of BMAL1 was mTOR-mediated and that administration of Rapamycin, a specific mTOR inhibitor, resulted in in vivo rescue of normal levels of BMAL1. Accumulation of BMAL1 by deletion of PER2, a Period family gene, was also rescued upon in vivo administration of mTOR inhibitor. Notably, BMAL1 regulation requires mTOR regulatory protein Raptor and Rictor. These findings indicate that mTORC1 and mTORC2 complex plays a critical role in controlling BMAL1, establishing a connection between PI3K signaling and the regulation of circadian rhythm, ultimately resulting in deregulated BMAL1 in tumor cells with disrupted PI3K signaling.

Periostin responds to mechanical stress and tension by activating the MTOR signaling pathway. PLoS One 2013; 8:e83580.

Abstract
Current knowledge about Periostin biology has expanded from its recognized functions in embryogenesis and bone metabolism to its roles in tissue repair and remodeling and its clinical implications in cancer. Emerging evidence suggests that Periostin plays a critical role in the mechanism of wound healing; however, the paracrine effect of Periostin in epithelial cell biology is still poorly understood. We found that epithelial cells are capable of producing endogenous Periostin that, unlike mesenchymal cell, cannot be secreted. Epithelial cells responded to Periostin paracrine stimuli by enhancing cellular migration and proliferation and by activating the mTOR signaling pathway. Interestingly, biomechanical stimulation of epithelial cells, which simulates tension forces that occur during initial steps of tissue healing, induced Periostin production and mTOR activation. The molecular association of Periostin and mTOR signaling was further dissected by administering rapamycin, a selective pharmacological inhibitor of mTOR, and by disruption of Raptor and Rictor scaffold proteins implicated in the regulation of mTORC1 and mTORC2 complex assembly. Both strategies resulted in ablation of Periostin-induced mitogenic and migratory activity. These results indicate that Periostin-induced epithelial migration and proliferation requires mTOR signaling. Collectively, our findings identify Periostin as a mechanical stress responsive molecule that is primarily secreted by fibroblasts during wound healing and expressed endogenously in epithelial cells resulting in the control of cellular physiology through a mechanism mediated by the mTOR signaling cascade.
