“…The mTOR complex, mTORC1, coordinates a negative feedback loop on insulin signalling, for example, through activation of GRB10 or via S6K1 ( Um et al, 2004 ). mTORC1 signalling is also regulated by protein kinase C (PKC) ( Zhan et al, 2019 ), and specific PKC isoforms are dysregulated in ageing, metabolic, neurodegenerative and inflammatory diseases ( Li et al, 2015 ; Sajan et al, 2018 ; Sharma et al, 2019 ). We observed that the broad-spectrum PKC inhibitor, bisindolylmaleimide I, induced a strong positive IR signature score (+87) and the related compound, ruboxistaurin, reverses IR in vivo ( Guo et al, 2020 ; Naruse et al, 2006 ).…”
