Constitutive activation of the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 pathway sustains the m.3243 A > G mtDNA mutation

Constitutive activation of the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 pathway sustains the m.3243 A > G mtDNA mutation

Heteroplasmic mtDNA mutations cause disease in humans. Here, Chung et al find the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 pathway constitutively activated in cells with the heteroplasmic m.3243 A > G mutation, and inhibition of the pathway cell autonomously reduces mutant mtDNA load and rescues mitochondrial bioenergeti...
