Summary: | -related overgrowth syndrome (PROS) is a genetic disorder caused by somatic mosaic gain-of-function mutations of
. Clinical presentation of patients is diverse and associated with endocrine disruption. Adipose tissue is frequently involved, but its role in disease development and progression has not been elucidated. Here, we created a mouse model of
-related adipose tissue overgrowth that recapitulates patient phenotype. We demonstrate that
mutation leads to GLUT4 membrane accumulation with a negative feedback loop on insulin secretion, a burst of liver IGFBP1 synthesis with IGF-1 sequestration, and low circulating levels. Mouse phenotype was mainly driven through AKT2. We also observed that
mutation induces metabolic reprogramming with Warburg-like effect and protein and lipid synthesis, hallmarks of cancer cells, in vitro, in vivo, and in patients. We lastly show that alpelisib is efficient at preventing and improving
-adipose tissue overgrowth and reversing metabolomic anomalies in both animal models and patients. |
