New Insights into mTOR Signal Pathways in Ovarian-Related Diseases : Polycystic Ovary Syndrome and Ovarian Cancer

Creative Commons Attribution License.

mTOR, the mammalian target of rapamycin, is a conserved serine/threonine kinase which belongs to thephosphatidyl-linositol kinase-related kinase (PIKK) family. It has two complexes called mTORC1 and mTORC2. Itis well established that mTOR plays important roles in cell growth, proliferation and differentiation. Over-activationof the mTOR pathway is considered to have a relationship with the development of many types of diseases, includingpolycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and ovarian cancer (OC). mTOR pathway inhibitors, such as rapamycin and itsderivatives, can directly or indirectly treat or relieve the symptoms of patients suffering from PCOS or OC. Moreover,mTOR inhibitors in combination with other chemical-molecular agents may have extraordinary efficacy. This paperwill discuss links between mTOR signaling and PCOS and OC, and explore the mechanisms of mTOR inhibitors intreating these two diseases, with conclusions regarding the most effective therapeutic approaches.
