TSC1 and Sepsis: With a mouse model of sepsis through cecal ligation and puncture (CLP), T cell specific-mTOR/tuberous sclerosis complex 1 (TSC1)-knockout mice, and bafilomycin A1, a specific autophagosome-lysosome (A-L) fusion inhibitor, we primarily proved that mTOR could modulate the expression and accumulation of CTLA4 by regulating the onset process of autophagy such as A-L fusion.
