Abstract:
:mTOR coordinates growth signals with metabolic pathways and protein synthesis and is hyperactivated in many human cancers. mTOR exists in two complexes: mTORC1, which stimulates protein, lipid, and ribosome biosynthesis, and mTORC2, which regulates cytoskeleton functions. While mTOR is known to be involved in the DNA damage response, little is actually known regarding the functions of mTORC1 compared to mTORC2 in this regard or the respective impacts on transcriptional versus translational regulation. We show that mTORC1 and mTORC2 are both required to enact DNA damage repair and cell survival, resulting in increased cancer cell survival during DNA damage. Together mTORC1 and -2 enact coordinated transcription and translation of protective cell cycle and DNA replication, recombination, and repair genes. This coordinated transcriptional-translational response to DNA damage was not impaired by rapalog inhibition of mTORC1 or independent inhibition of mTORC1 or mTORC2 but was blocked by inhibition of mTORC1/2. Only mTORC1/2 inhibition reversed cancer cell resistance to DNA damage and replicative stress and increased tumor cell killing and tumor control by DNA damage therapies in animal models. When combined with DNA damage, inhibition of mTORC1/2 blocked transcriptional induction more strongly than translation of DNA replication, survival, and DNA damage response mRNAs.
