In fat and liver, Torkinib (PP 242) is able to completely inhibit the phosphorylation of Akt at S473 and T308, consistent with its effect on these phosphorylation sites observed in cell culture. Surprisingly, Torkinib (PP 242) is only partially able to inhibit the phosphorylation of Akt in skeletal muscle and is more effective at inhibiting the phosphorylation of T308 than S473, despite it's ability to fully inhibit the phosphorylation of 4EBP1 and S6. These results will be confirmed by in vivo dose-response experiments, but, consistent with the partial effect of Torkinib (PP 242) on pAkt in skeletal muscle, a muscle-specific knockout of the integral mTORC2 component rictor resulted in only a partial loss of Akt phosphorylation at S473. These results suggest that a kinase other than mTOR, such as DNA-PK, may contribute to phosphorylation of Akt in muscle.
