Leucine stimulates HGF production by hepatic stellate cells through mTOR pathway
چکیده انگلیسی

Branched chain amino acids modulate various cellular functions in addition to providing substrates for the production of proteins. We examined the mechanism underlying the stimulation by leucine of hepatocyte growth factor (HGF) production by hepatic stellate cells. Both p70 S6 kinase activity and phosphorylation of eukaryotic initiation factor 4E-binding protein 1 (4E-BP1) were up-regulated rapidly after leucine treatment of a rat hepatic stellate cell clone. No such activation was observed following treatment with valine or isoleucine. Rapamycin, an inhibitor of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), suppressed leucine-induced activation of p70 S6 kinase and 4E-BP1 and negated the stimulatory effect of leucine on HGF production. An mTOR-dependent signaling pathway mediates the stimulatory effect of leucine on the production of HGF by hepatic stellate cells.
