Abstract:
:The model animal of renal cell carcinoma (RCC), the Eker rat, has a germline mutation in the tuberous sclerosis 2 (Tsc2) gene. Heterozygous mutants develop RCCs by second hit in the wild-type Tsc2 allele, whereas homozygous mutants are embryonic lethal. In the present study, a new cell differentiation model was developed to study the mechanism of Tsc2 mutation-associated pathogenesis by generating Tsc2-deficient embryonic stem cells (ESCs) from Eker rats. Tsc2+/+, Tsc2+/- and Tsc2-/- ESCs were all capable of generating three germ layers: mesoderm, ectoderm, and endoderm. Interestingly, epithelial tumor-like abnormal ductal structures were reproducibly observed in Tsc2-/- teratomas from different ESC lines. Immunohistochemical analysis revealed that mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) signaling was activated in abnormal ducts of Tsc2-/- teratomas, on the basis of positive staining for p-S6 and p-4EBP1. In these abnormal ducts, expression levels of epithelial markers (i.e., megalin and cubilin) and the cytoplasmic localization of E-cadherin and β-catenin were similar to those in Eker rat RCCs. Moreover, a transcription factor regulated by mTORC1, named TFE3, was located in the nuclei of abnormal ducts and Eker rat RCCs. As a negative regulator of ESC differentiation, TFE3 may result in tissue-specific differentiation defects related to tumorigenesis in Eker rats and Tsc2-/- teratomas. The present study suggests that ESCs derived from Eker rats constitute a novel experimental tool with which to analyze differentiation defects and cell-type specific pathogenesis associated with Tsc2 deficiency.
