two-hit mechanism of biallelic inactivation of TSC1 or TSC2, leading to activation of MTOR and to subependymal giant cell

aberrantly expressed in breast cancer cell lines and breast tumour tissues with poor prognosis and promoters are seen to be methylated in breast tumour tissues
constitutional        
cells lacking TSC1 have cilia that are on average 17–27 p100 longer than wild-type cells, which indicates a defect in normal ciliogenesis (Hartman 2009)
constitutional     --over  
increased resistance to oxygen glucose deprivation (OGD) by inducing productive autophagy through an MTOR-dependent mechanism
constitutional     --low loss of function
loss of the TSC1 gene in the distal convoluted tubules is sufficient for renal cystogenesis

preventing the phosphorylation of TSC1 may have important clinical implications for the treatment or prevention of cancer

selective suppression of TBC1D7 and/or inhibition of the TBC1D7-TSC1 complex formation could be promising therapeutic strategies for lung cancer therapy
ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • mutations in the Drosophila Tsc1 cause a phenotype characterized by enhanced growth and increased cell size with no change in ploidy (
  • Tsc1 knockout mouse died around embryonic days 10.5-11.5, frequently associated with neural tube unclosure while Tsc1(+/-) mice developed renal and extra-renal tumors such as hepatic hemangiomas (
  • Tsc1 null embryos die at mid-gestation from a failure of liver development whereas Tsc1 heterozygotes develop kidney cystadenomas and liver hemangiomas at high frequency (
  • Mice with ventricular loss of Tsc1 had a median survival of 6 months and developed a dilated cardiomyopathy with the occurrence of scattered foci of enlarged ventricular myocytes (
  • Tsc1+/- mice show social and cognitive deficits in the absence of apparent cerebral pathology and spontaneous seizures (
  • cells with mutation in TSC1 are hypersensitive to endoplasmic reticulum stress and undergo apoptosis (
