Example sentences for: mtor

How can you use “mtor” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

  • Clinical trials using the rapamycin analog CCI-779 show promise for this strategy [ 22 ] . Rapamycin and its synthetic analogs block mTOR kinase activity leading to dephosphorylation of 4EBP and other mTOR substrates.

  • Rapamycin inhibits activation of p70 S6 kinase, a downstream effector in the PI 3-kinase signaling pathway [ 13 ] . Rapamycin forms a complex with FK506-binding protein 12 and this complex blocks the kinase activity of mTOR (mammalian target of rapamycin), a kinase upstream of p70 S6 kinase [ 20 ] . The IC 50 for p70 S6 kinase inhibition by rapamycin is ~0.

  • Rapamycin and its analogs affect all of the downstream targets of mTOR, including p70 S6 kinase and other components of the translation machinery.

  • Rapamycin and its analogs are potent inhibitors of mTOR and lead to cell cycle arrest.

  • ANOVA = analysis of variance; Erk= extracellular signal-regulated kinase; IC 50 = half-maximal inhibition; IRS = insulin receptor substrate; LDH = lactate dehydrogenase; MAPK = mitogen-activated protein kinase; MEK = MAPK/extracellular signal-regulated kinase kinase; mTOR = mammalian target of rapamycin; PBS = phosphate-buffered saline; PI 3-kinase = phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase; RDS = respiratory distress syndrome; SD = standard deviation of the mean; SE = standard error of the mean; SP = surfactant protein; TPA = 12-
