Porcine circovirus type 2 (PCV2) uses autophagy machinery to enhance its replication in PK-15 cells. However, the underlying mechanisms are unknown. By the use of specific inhibitors, RNA interference, and coimmunoprecipitation, we show that PCV2 induces autophagy in PK-15 cells through a pathway involving the kinases AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2), the tumor suppressor protein TSC2, and the mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR). AMPK and ERK1/2 positively regulate autophagy through negative control of the mTOR pathway by phosphorylating TSC2 in PCV2-infected PK-15 cells. Thus, PCV2 might induce autophagy via the AMPK/ERK/TSC2/mTOR signaling pathway in the host cells, representing a pivotal mechanism for PCV2 pathogenesis.

D000077005 Tuberous Sclerosis Complex 2 Protein An intracellular signaling and tumor suppressor protein that forms a complex with TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS COMPLEX 1 PROTEIN (TSC1) and other signaling factors to negatively regulate MTORC1 and affect cell growth and proliferation. It can also function as GTPASE-ACTIVATING PROTEIN (GAP) for RHEB GTPASE to activate mTORC1 independent of its role in the complex. Structurally, it interacts with TSC1 through its N-terminus, which also contains a leucine zipper and coiled-coil region. It also has multiple phosphorylation sites for different cell signaling kinases, a central coiled-coil region, a C-terminal GAP domain and CALMODULIN binding domain. Mutations in the TSC2 gene are associated with TUBEROUS SCLEROSIS. Tuberin,Tuberous Sclerosis 2 Protein

D001343 Autophagy The segregation and degradation of various cytoplasmic constituents via engulfment by MULTIVESICULAR BODIES; VACUOLES; or AUTOPHAGOSOMES and their digestion by LYSOSOMES. It plays an important role in BIOLOGICAL METAMORPHOSIS and in the removal of bone by OSTEOCLASTS.

D015398 Signal Transduction The intracellular transfer of information (biological activation/inhibition) through a signal pathway. In each signal transduction system, an activation/inhibition signal from a biologically active molecule (hormone, neurotransmitter) is mediated via the coupling of a receptor/enzyme to a second messenger system or to an ion channel. Signal transduction plays an important role in activating cellular functions, cell differentiation, and cell proliferation. Examples of signal transduction systems are the GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID-postsynaptic receptor-calcium ion channel system, the receptor-mediated T-cell activation pathway, and the receptor-mediated activation of phospholipases. Those coupled to membrane depolarization or intracellular release of calcium include the receptor-mediated activation of cytotoxic functions in granulocytes and the synaptic potentiation of protein kinase activation. Some signal transduction pathways may be part of larger signal transduction pathways; for example, protein kinase activation is part of the platelet activation signal pathway.
