Abstract BACKGROUND:Sestrin2 is a conserved protein in several species, and its expression is upregulated in cells under various environmental stresses. Sestrin2 content is involved in the function of mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) in mouse embryonic fibroblasts and C2C12 cells.
METHODS:C2C12 cells were treated with amino acid-free DMEM (AF-DMEM) for 5 h. The effects of the addition of specific amino acids to AF-DMEM on Sestrin2 mRNA and protein expression were examined using RT-qPCR and western blotting, respectively. The mechanism by which amino acids regulate Sestrin2 mRNA expression was examined using blocking and siRNA experiments.
RESULTS:AF-DMEM increased the mRNA and protein levels of both Sestrin2 and activating transcription factor 4 (ATF4). The addition of a specific amino acid changed Sestrin2 mRNA and protein levels. The response pattern of Sestrin2 to specific amino acids was similar to that of ATF4. ATF4 siRNA reduced Sestrin2 mRNA levels. AF-DMEM increased eukaryotic initiation factor 2α (eIF2α) phosphorylation as early as 10 min after the treatment; however, ATF4 and Sestrin2 were increased 300 min after the treatment. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 and pancreatic and duodenal homeobox 1 siRNA did not affect ATF4 and Sestrin2 mRNA expression.
CONCLUSIONS:Specific Amino acids regulate Sestrin2 levels in an ATF4-dependent manner in C2C12 cells.
GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE:The results of the present study indicate that amino acids regulate levels of Sestrin2, which might cause phenotypic alterations, including mTORC1 activity, in C2C12 cells.
