General description
A cell-permeable pyrazolopyrimidine compound that acts as a potent, reversible, and ATP-competitive inhibitor against both mTORC1 & mTORC2 (IC50 = 30 & 58 nM, respectively, with 100 µM ATP). PP242 inhibits PKCα, p110γ, and JAK2 with 6-, 13-, and 14-fold less potency and exhibits much reduced or no activity against a panel of 216 other kinases at a concentration of 1 µM (maximum of 68% or 77% inhibition observed with 10 or 100 µM ATP, respectively). PP242 differentially inhibits insulin-stimulated phosphorylations of cellular proteins both in cultures (2.5 µM) in vitro and in mice (20 mg/kg i.p.) in vivo in a manner distinctly different from that seen in mTORC2-functional knockout SIN1-/- cells or in cultures treated with Rapamycin (Cat. Nos. 553210, 553211, 553212), which targets only mTORC1, but not mTORC2. Blockage of 4EBP1 T36/T45/S65 phosphorylation by PP242 upon insulin stimulation in primary MEFs correlates well with an enhanced 4EBP1 association with the cap-binding protein eIF4E, resulting in a selective inhibition of cap-dependent, but not cap-independent, protein translation.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a clinically highly heterogeneous disease with a survival rate ranging from months to decades. Evidence suggests that a systemic deregulation of immune response may play a role and affect disease progression. Here, we measured 62

Naive CD4+ T lymphocytes initially undergo antigen-specific activation to promote a broad-spectrum response before adopting bespoke cytokine expression profiles shaped by intercellular microenvironmental cues, resulting in pathogen-focused modular cytokine responses. Interleukin (IL)-4-induced Gata3 upregulation is important for the helper type

Ras signaling is typically associated with cell growth, but not direct regulation of motility or polarity. By optogenetically targeting different nodes in the Ras/PI3K/Akt network in differentiated human HL-60 neutrophils, we abruptly altered protrusive activity, bypassing the chemoattractant receptor/G-protein network.
Spatiotemporal dynamics of membrane surface charge regulates cell polarity and migration.
