Unexpected activation of mTOR signaling, measured by ribosomal S6 phosphorylation or ribosomal S6 kinase (p70S6K) activity, has been reported in aging-related settings. Evidence of elevated mTOR activity has been reported in the heart and muscle tissue in aged mice and humans, mouse models of progeria, and senescent human fibroblasts. We explore these reports and the possibility that activation of the mTOR/p70S6K kinase pathway may represent a ROS-mediated response to mitochondrial stress leading to the activation of senescence. This activation is a hallmark of both aged tissue and senescent human cells.
据报道,在与衰老相关的情况下,通过核糖体S6磷酸化或核糖体S6激酶(p70S6K)活性测量发现mTOR信号通路意外激活。在老年小鼠和人类的心脏和肌肉组织、早衰症小鼠模型以及衰老的人类成纤维细胞中,都有mTOR活性升高的证据。我们探讨了这些报道以及mTOR/p70S6K激酶途径的激活可能代表对线粒体应激的ROS介导反应从而导致衰老激活的可能性。这种激活是衰老组织和衰老人类细胞的一个标志。
