The tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC1/TSC2/TBC1D7) primarily functions to inhibit the mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1), a crucial regulator of cell growth. Mutations in TSC1 or TSC2 cause tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC), a rare autosomal dominant genetic disorder marked by benign tumors in multiple organs that rarely progress to malignancy. Traditionally, TSC proteins are considered tumor suppressive due to their inhibition of mTORC1 and other mechanisms. However, more recent studies have shown that TSC proteins can also promote tumorigenesis in certain cancer types. In this review, we explore the composition and function of the TSC protein complex, the roles of its individual components in cancer biology, and potential future therapeutic targeting strategies.
期刊介绍:
Trends in Molecular Medicine (TMM) aims to offer concise and contextualized perspectives on the latest research advancing biomedical science toward better diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of human diseases. It focuses on research at the intersection of basic biology and clinical research, covering new concepts in human biology and pathology with clear implications for diagnostics and therapy. TMM reviews bridge the gap between bench and bedside, discussing research from preclinical studies to patient-enrolled trials. The major themes include disease mechanisms, tools and technologies, diagnostics, and therapeutics, with a preference for articles relevant to multiple themes. TMM serves as a platform for discussion, pushing traditional boundaries and fostering collaboration between scientists and clinicians. The journal seeks to publish provocative and authoritative articles that are also accessible to a broad audience, inspiring new directions in molecular medicine to enhance human health.
