Chronic inhibition of the protein synthesis regulator mTORC1 through rapamycin extends life span in mice, with longer extension in females than in males. Whether rapamycin treatment inhibits protein synthesis or whether it does so differently between sexes has not been examined. UM-HET3 mice were fed a control or rapamycin-supplemented (Rap) diet for 12 weeks. Protein synthesis in mixed, cytosolic (cyto), and mitochondrial (mito) fractions and DNA synthesis and mTORC1 signaling were determined in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. In both sexes, mito protein synthesis was maintained in skeletal muscle from Rap despite decreases in mixed and cyto fractions, DNA synthesis, and rpS6 phosphorylation. In the heart, no change in protein synthesis occurred despite the decreased DNA synthesis. In the heart and liver, Rap males were more sensitive to mTORC1 inhibition than Rap females. In conclusion, we show changes in protein synthesis and mTORC1 signaling that differ by sex and tissue.

D008928 Mitochondria Semiautonomous, self-reproducing organelles that occur in the cytoplasm of all cells of most, but not all, eukaryotes. Each mitochondrion is surrounded by a double limiting membrane. The inner membrane is highly invaginated, and its projections are called cristae. Mitochondria are the sites of the reactions of oxidative phosphorylation, which result in the formation of ATP. They contain distinctive RIBOSOMES, transfer RNAs (RNA, TRANSFER); AMINO ACYL T RNA SYNTHETASES; and elongation and termination factors. Mitochondria depend upon genes within the nucleus of the cells in which they reside for many essential messenger RNAs (RNA, MESSENGER). Mitochondria are believed to have arisen from aerobic bacteria that established a symbiotic relationship with primitive protoeukaryotes.

D000076222 Mechanistic Target of Rapamycin Complex 1 An evolutionarily conserved multiprotein complex that functions as a cellular energy sensor and regulator of protein synthesis for cell growth and proliferation. It consists of TOR SERINE-THREONINE KINASES; REGULATORY-ASSOCIATED PROTEIN OF MTOR (RAPTOR); MLST8 PROTEIN; and AKT1 substrate 1 protein. The activity of the complex is regulated by SIROLIMUS; INSULIN; GROWTH FACTORS; PHOSPHATIDIC ACIDS; some amino acids or amino acid derivatives, and OXIDATIVE STRESS.
