mTOR, a serine/threonine kinase, is a master regulator of cellular metabolism. mTOR regulates cell growth and proliferation in response to a wide range of cues, and its signaling pathway is deregulated in many human diseases. mTOR also plays a crucial role in regulating autophagy. This Review provides an overview of the mTOR signaling pathway, the mechanisms of mTOR in autophagy regulation, and the clinical implications of mTOR inhibitors in disease treatment.
mTOR是一种丝氨酸/苏氨酸激酶,是细胞代谢的主要调节因子。mTOR响应多种信号调节细胞生长和增殖,其信号通路在许多人类疾病中失调。mTOR在调节自噬中也起着关键作用。本综述概述了mTOR信号通路、mTOR在自噬调节中的机制以及mTOR抑制剂在疾病治疗中的临床意义。
