PG - 13-24 LID - S0300-9084(20)30172-3 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.biochi.2020.07.018 [doi] AB - Diacylglycerol kinase (DGK) phosphorylates diacylglycerol to produce phosphatidic acid (PA). The eta isozyme of DGK is abundantly expressed in C2C12 myoblasts. However, the role of DGKeta in skeletal muscle cells remains unknown. In the present study, we showed that DGKeta was downregulated at an early stage of myogenic differentiation. The knockdown of DGKeta by siRNAs significantly inhibited C2C12 myoblast proliferation but did not inhibit differentiation. Moreover, the suppression of DGKeta expression decreased the expression levels of mammalian target of rapamycin (mTOR), which is a key regulator of cell proliferation, and fatty acid synthase (FASN), which catalyzes the de novo synthesis of fatty acids for cell proliferation and is transcriptionally regulated via mTOR signaling. Furthermore, the knockdown of mTOR or raptor, which is a component of mTOR complex 1 (mTORC1), decreased the amount of FASN. These results indicate that DGKeta regulates myoblast proliferation through the mTOR (mTORC1)-FASN pathway. Interestingly, the knockdown of mTOR reduced the expression levels of DGKeta, implying mutual regulation between DGKeta and mTOR. In DGKeta-knockdown myoblasts, C30-C36-PA species, mTOR activators, were decreased, suggesting that the modulation of mTOR activity through these PA species also plays an important role in myoblast proliferation.
