The mTOR/S6K1 signaling pathway controls cell growth and proliferation. To assess the importance of S6K1 in the balance between death and survival in the liver, we have generated immortalized hepatocyte cell lines from wild-type and S6K1-deficient (S6K1−/−) mice. In S6K1−/− hepatocytes caspase-8 and the pro-apoptotic protein Bid were constitutively down-regulated as compared to wild-type. Moreover, S6K1−/− hepatocytes failed to respond to the apoptotic trigger of death receptor activation. Neither caspase-8 activation nor FLIPL degradation in response to TNFα or anti-Fas antibody (Jo2) was observed in cells lacking S6K1. Downstream events such as Bid cleavage, cytochrome C release, caspase-3 activation, DNA laddering, as well as the percentage of apoptotic cells were attenuated as compared to wild-type. In addition, the anti-apoptotic protein BclxL was down-regulated in TNFα or Jo2-treated wild-type hepatocytes, but this response was abolished in S6K1−/−cells. In vivo, S6K1-deficient mice were protected against concanavalin A-induced apoptosis. The withdrawal of growth factors strongly induced apoptosis in wild-type, but not in S6K1−/− hepatocytes. S6K1 deficiency did not decrease BclxL/Bim ratio upon serum withdrawal, thereby protecting cells from cytochrome C release and DNA fragmentation. At the molecular level, the lack of S6K1-mediated negative feed-back decreased IRS-1 serine phosphorylation resulting in activation of survival pathways mediated by phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-K)/Akt and ERK. However, S6K1−/− hepatocytes underwent apoptosis upon serum withdrawal in combination of PI 3-K or ERK inhibitors. This finding might explain the mechanism of resistance to mTOR inhibitors in cancer treatments, and strongly suggests that the inhibition of S6K1 could protect against acute liver failure and, in combination with inhibitors that abrogate the sustained activation of Akt and ERK, could improve the efficacy of hepatocarcinoma (HCC) treatment.
