LAMTOR2 is part of the LAMTOR complex anchored to late endosomal/lysosomal membranes. The LAMTOR complex is known to regulate mTORC1 signaling in an amino acid dependent manner and MAPK signaling. Both signaling pathways play a crucial role in cellular homeostasis. [1,2,3] Deletions of LAMTOR components are early embryonic-lethal in mice, but conditional knockouts allow the study of the complex. Microarray and proteomic studies in LAMTOR2 -/- mouse embryonic fibroblasts (MEF) and macrophages point to a regulation of lipid metabolism including lipid synthesis, uptake, transport and degradation. The aim is to study the role of the LAMTOR complex in adipose tissue homeostasis and lipid metabolism.

The AdipoqLAMTOR2 -/- mice show an accumulation of lipids e.g. triglycerides in the blood, brown adipose tissue (BAT) and liver in chow diet. Under fasting and refeeding conditions a defect in activating mTORC1 signaling in BAT of these mice was observed. Furthermore, a microarray analysis revealed a deregulation of mitochondrial genes in BAT. Electron microscopy and respiratory measurement revealed no changes in overall mitochondrial morphology and physiology. Although thermogenesis and mitochondrial genes are downregulated in BAT of AdipoqLAMTOR2 -/- mice, cold treatment reverses the phenotype observed in BAT and blood.
