The translational landscape of mTOR signalling steers cancer initiation and metastasis
Open accessAbstract
The mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) kinase is a master regulator of protein synthesis that couples nutrient sensing to cell growth and cancer. However, the downstream translationally regulated nodes of gene expression that may direct cancer development are poorly characterized. Using ribosome profiling, we uncover specialized translation of the prostate cancer genome by oncogenic mTOR signalling, revealing a remarkably specific repertoire of genes involved in cell proliferation, metabolism and invasion. We extend these findings by functionally characterizing a class of translationally controlled pro-invasion messenger RNAs that we show direct prostate cancer invasion and metastasis downstream of oncogenic mTOR signalling. Furthermore, we develop a clinically relevant ATP site inhibitor of mTOR, INK128, which reprograms this gene expression signature with therapeutic benefit for prostate cancer metastasis, for which there is presently no cure. Together, these findings extend our understanding of how the 'cancerous' translation machinery steers specific cancer cell behaviours, including metastasis, and may be therapeutically targeted.

Other systemwide studies suggest that the differential regulation of translation may be limited to modest changes at a subset of genes.
“Other systemwide studies, including a separate analysis by Schwanhausser et al. (2011), also suggest that the differential regulation of translation may be limited to modest changes at a subset of genes”
From System wide analyses have underestimated protein abundances and the importance of transcription in mammals (2014) · cites this paper as Hsieh et al., 2012
The 'Ribosome profiling of the prostate cancer genome' section reports translational changes in a subset of 144 mRNAs after mTOR inhibition, supporting the subset-of-genes point. It does not characterize those changes as modest: the reported threshold is a log2 decrease of at least 1.5, or roughly 2.8-fold. The finding is also specific to mTOR inhibition in PC3 prostate cancer cells, rather than translation regulation generally. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
