Diacylglycerol kinase beta (DGK beta) is an enzyme converting DG to phosphatidic acid (PA) and is specifically expressed in neurons, especially those in the cerebral cortex, hippocampus and striatum. We previously reported that DGK beta induces neurite outgrowth and spinogenesis, contributing to higher brain function including emotion and memory, and plasma membrane localization of DGK beta via the Cl domain and a cluster of basic amino acids at the C-terminus is necessary for its function. To clarify the mechanisms involved in neuronal development by DGK beta, we investigated whether DGK beta activity induces neurite outgrowth using human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells. DGK beta induced neurite outgrowth by activation of mammalian target of rapamycin complex 1 (mTORC1) through a kinase-dependent pathway. In addition, in primary cultured cortical and hippocampal neurons, inhibition of mTORC1 abolished DGK beta induced-neurite outgrowth, branching and spinogenesis. These results indicated that DGK beta induces neurite outgrowth and spinogenesis by activating mTORC1 in a kinase-dependent pathway.
