1 Recently, glutamine has been shown to alter mTORC1 activity in a TSC1-TSC2 independent manner in cells cultured under amino acid- and serum-deprived conditions. Glutamine CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1 Mus musculus
2 Since starvation culture conditions are not physiologically relevant, we examined if glutamine can regulate mTORC1 in non-deprived cells and in a murine model of TSC. Glutamine CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1 Mus musculus
3 Our results show that glutamine can reduce phosphorylation of S6 and S6 kinase, surrogate indicators of mTORC1 activity, in both deprived and non-deprived cells, although higher concentrations were required for non-deprived cultures. Glutamine CREB regulated transcription coactivator 1 Mus musculus
