Research progress on mTOR signaling pathway and regulatory T cell nutrition metabolic regulation mechanism
In the tumor microenvironment,metabolic reprogramming can impact metabolic characteristics of T cells,thus inducing immunosuppression to promote tumor immune escape.The mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR)signaling pathway plays an important role in regulating diverse functions of various immune cells.This review mainly focuses on the molecular mechanism of mTOR signaling in regulating cellular energy metabolism process,and the activation status of mTOR signaling under different nutritional environments.In addition,it also summarizes the role of the mTOR signaling in regulatory T cell(Tregs)metabolism and function in current studies,and evaluates the potential of mTOR as a clinical immunotherapeutic target and its current application challenges.
