Abstract

The mammalian target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2) plays critical roles in various biological processes. To better understand the functions of mTORC2 and the underlying molecular mechanisms, we established a stable cell line with reduced Rictor, a specific component in mTORC2, and investigated the quantitative changes of the cellular proteome. As a result, we observed that 101 proteins were down-regulated and 50 proteins were up-regulated in Rictor knockdown cells. A protein-protein interaction network regulated by Rictor/mTORC2 was established, showing that Rictor/mTORC2 was involved in various cellular processes. Intriguingly, gene ontology analysis indicated that the proteome regulated by Rictor/mTORC2 was significantly involved with cell adhesion. Rictor knockdown affected the expressions of multiple cell adhesion associated molecules, e.g. integrin α-5 (ITGA5), transforming growth factor beta-1-induced transcript 1 protein (TGFB1I1), lysyl oxidase homologue 2 (LOXL2), etc. Further study suggested that Rictor/mTORC2 may regulate cell adhesion and invasion by modulating the expressions of these cell adhesion molecules through AKT. Taken together, this study maps the proteome regulated by Rictor/mTORC2 and reveals its role ...Continue Reading

Adhesion Molecules in Health and Disease

Cell adhesion molecules are a subset of cell adhesion proteins located on the cell surface involved in binding with other cells or with the extracellular matrix in the process called cell adhesion. In essence, cell adhesion molecules help cells stick to each other and to their surroundings. Cell adhesion is a crucial component in maintaining tissue structure and function.
