TSC2 phosphorylation at Ser664 (an ERK-dependent phosphorylation site) was prevented with U0126, and BIM-I treatment blocked PMA-induced phosphorylation of TSC2 at multiple residues (Ser664, Ser939, and Thr1462).
These observations demonstrate that the PKC/MEK/ERK-dependent activation of mTORC1 is mediated through TSC2 phosphorylation and its downstream target Rheb in C2C12 myoblasts.
Here, we report that patient-derived fibroblasts from three monogenic models of ASD-fragile X and tuberous sclerosis TSC1 and TSC2 syndromes-display depressed Ca(2+) release through inositol trisphosphate receptors (IP3Rs).

Collectively, the findings suggest that combined dysfunction of the p53 and TSC2 tumor suppressor proteins may contribute to the development of uterine angiosarcoma in this rare clinical setting.
Similar changes are observed in TGHQ-transformed renal epithelial cells derived from Tsc-2(EK/+) rats (QTRRE cells), which, in addition to the cytoplasmic mislocalization of p27 and cyclin D1, exhibit high ERK, B-Raf, and Raf-1 kinase activity.

Western blot analysis of kidney tumors formed following treatment of Tsc-2(EK/+) rats with TGHQ for 8 months revealed increases in B-Raf, Raf-1, pERK, cyclin D1, 4EBP1, and p-4EBP1-Ser65, -Thr70, and -Thr37/46 expression.
Activated NF-κB promoted AKT-mediated phosphorylation of the GLUT1 regulator, AKT substrate of 160kD (AS160), but was not required for AKT phosphorylation of the mTOR regulator Tuberous Sclerosis 2 (TSC2).
During the period of acute hepatitis (16-17 weeks), we observed decreased Nth1 and Tsc2 mRNA levels and a continued decrease of the Tsc2 gene in 24 weeks in LEC rats, while the effect was minimal in Long-Evans Agouti (LEA) rats.
Our data showed that: tuberous sclerosis 2 (TSC2) and phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) were downregulated in most of the primary tumors, and their low expression was significantly associated with shorter disease-free and overall survival; somatostatin receptor 2 (SSTR2) was absent or very low in insulinomas compared with nonfunctioning tumors; and expression of fibroblast growth factor 13 (FGF13) gene was significantly associated with the occurrence of liver metastasis and shorter disease-free survival.

The PKR gene silencing in SH-SY5Y cells prevented these alterations. p53, Redd1 and TSC2 could represent the molecular links between PKR and mTOR in Abeta neurotoxicity.

We have explored the application of array-CGH to the detection of such changes on a set of 20 samples consisting of patients with eye diseases associated with changes on chromosome 6p25 together with unaffected individuals, as well as two samples from tuberous sclerosis 2 (TSC2)-affected patients.
Tuberin regulates p70 S6 kinase activation and ribosomal protein S6 phosphorylation. A role for the TSC2 tumor suppressor gene in pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM).
