RESULTS mTORC1 regulates glucose uptake and glycolysis in TCR-and IL-2–stimulated
CD8+ T cells TCR triggering of naive CD8+ T cells with peptide–MHC complexes induced
expression of the glucose transporter Glut1 and a concomitant increase in glucose uptake
and lactate output (Fig. 1, A–C). TCR triggering also activated mTORC1 activity (Fig. 1 D), as
judged by assessing the impact of TCR ligation on phosphorylation of mTORC1 substrate
sequences on S6K1 (T389 and S421/424) and the phosphorylation of the S6K1 substrate …

The inhibition of mTORC1 activity with rapamycin blocked TCR-induced increases in Glut1 expression and glucose uptake and reduced lactate production (Fig. 1, E–G). TCR-primed CD8+
