Pharmacological Inhibition of mTORC1 Suppresses Anatomical, Cellular, and Behavioral Abnormalities in Neural-Specific Pten Knock-Out Mice
Open accessAbstract
PTEN (phosphatase and tensin homolog deleted on chromosome ten) is a lipid phosphatase that counteracts the function of phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase (PI3K). Loss of function of PTEN results in constitutive activation of AKT and downstream effectors and correlates with many human cancers, as well as various brain disorders, including macrocephaly, seizures, Lhermitte–Duclos disease, and autism. We previously generated a conditional Pten knock-out mouse line with Pten loss in limited postmitotic neurons in the cortex and hippocampus.Pten-null neurons developed neuronal hypertrophy and loss of neuronal polarity. The mutant mice exhibited macrocephaly and behavioral abnormalities reminiscent of certain features of human autism. Here, we report that rapamycin, a specific inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), can prevent and reverse neuronal hypertrophy, resulting in the amelioration of a subset of PTEN-associated abnormal behaviors, providing evidence that the mTORC1 pathway downstream of PTEN is critical for this complex phenotype.

In animal models of autism spectrum disorder, altered mTORC1 signaling contributes to synaptic dysfunction and aberrant network connectivity.
“Additionally in animal models of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), altered mTORC1 signaling contributes to the observed synaptic dysfunction and aberrant network connectivity (13,15,(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27).”
From Analysis of proteins that rapidly change upon mechanistic/mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) repression identifies parkinson protein 7 (PARK7) as a novel protein aberrantly expressed in tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) (2016) · cites this paper as [21]
The Results report altered dendritic spine density and mossy-fiber tract thickness in Pten-mutant mice, and the Discussion links mTORC1 inhibition to reduced ectopic axonal projections. These support a role for the pathway in neuronal structural abnormalities, but the paper does not establish synaptic dysfunction or aberrant network connectivity as functional outcomes.

Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredPharmacological and genetic manipulations have rescued both structural and behavioral phenotypes in PTEN, FMR1, and MECP2 knockout mice.
“Notably, pharmacological and genetic manipulations have successfully rescued both structural and behavioral phenotypes in PTEN86, FMR1 (ref. 87) and MECP2 (ref. 88) knockout mice.”
From Dendritic spine pathology in neuropsychiatric disorders (2011) · cites this paper as [86]
In these rescue strategies, behavioral recovery was paralleled by reversal of spine pathologies.
“That behavioral recovery in each of these rescue strategies was paralleled by reversal of spine pathologies underscores the importance of these structural perturbations in the pathogenesis of ASDs and comorbid disorders and the potential for the use of animal models in the development of therapeutics.”

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.
