Given the role of lysosomes as a platform for mTORC1 activation, we examined mTORC1 activity in models of Pompe disease. GAA-knockdown C2C12 myoblasts and GAA-deficient human skin fibroblasts of infantile Pompe patients were found to have decreased mTORC1 activation. Treatment with the cell-permeable leucine analog l-leucyl-l-leucine methyl ester restored mTORC1 activation. In vivo, Pompe mice also displayed reduced basal and leucine-stimulated mTORC1 activation in skeletal muscle, whereas treatment with a combination of insulin and leucine normalized mTORC1 activation. Chronic leucine feeding restored basal and leucine-stimulated mTORC1 activation, while partially protecting Pompe mice from developing kyphosis and the decline in muscle mass. Leucine-treated Pompe mice showed increased spontaneous activity and running capacity, with reduced muscle protein breakdown and glycogen accumulation. Together, these data demonstrate that GAA deficiency results in reduced mTORC1 activation that is partly responsible for the skeletal muscle wasting phenotype. Moreover, mTORC1 stimulation by dietary leucine supplementation prevented some of the detrimental skeletal muscle dysfunction that occurs in the Pompe disease mouse model.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1152\/ajpregu.00212.2014","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,9,18]],"date-time":"2014-09-18T06:44:08Z","timestamp":1411022648000},"page":"R1251-R1259","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":22,"title":["Suppression of mTORC1 activation in acid-\u03b1-glucosidase-deficient cells and mice is ameliorated by leucine supplementation"],"prefix":"10.1152","volume":"307","author":[{"given":"Adi","family":"Shemesh","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Pharmacology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yichen","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Molecular Pharmacology, Albert Einstein College of Medicine, Bronx, New York;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yingjuan","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Animal Fat Deposition and Muscle Development, College of Animal Science and Technology, Northwest A&amp;F University, Yangling, Shaanxi, People's Republic of China;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Gong-She","family":"Yang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Laboratory of Animal Fat Deposition and Muscle Development, College of Animal Science and Technology, Northwest A&amp;F University, Yangling, Shaanxi, People's Republic of China;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Danielle E.","family":"Johnson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Program in Cell Biology, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Ontario, Canada;
