Abstract

DNA mismatch repair (MMR) ensures the fidelity of DNA replication and is required for activation of cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in response to certain classes of DNA damage. We recently reported that MMR is also implicated in initiation of an autophagic response after MMR processing of 6-thioguanine (6-TG). It is now generally believed that autophagy is negatively controlled by mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR) activity. To determine whether mTOR is involved in 6-TG–induced autophagy, we used rapamycin, a potential anticancer agent, to inhibit mTOR activity. Surprisingly, we find that rapamycin cotreatment inhibits 6-TG–induced autophagy in MMR-proficient human colorectal cancer HCT116 (MLH1+) and HT29 cells as measured by LC3 immunoblotting, GFP-LC3 relocalization, and acridine orange staining. Consistently, short interfering RNA silencing of the 70-kDa ribosomal S6 kinase 1 (S6K1), the downstream effector of mTOR, markedly reduces 6-TG–induced autophagy. Furthermore, we show that inhibition of mTOR by rapamycin induces the activation of Akt as shown by increased Akt phosphorylation at Ser473 and the inhibition of 6-TG–induced apoptosis and cell death. Activated Akt is a well-known inhibitor of autophagy. In conclusion, our data indicate that mTOR-S6K1 positively regulates autophagy after MMR processing of 6-TG probably through its negative feedback inhibition of Akt. [Cancer Res 2008;68(7):2384–90]

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.
