Outline of Final Research Achievements

mTOR inhibitors have recently been developed as antineoplastic targeted therapies in various cancers. However, mTOR inhibitors have several adverse effects, including interstitial lung disease and type 2 diabetes. We recently found that temsirolimus induced interstitial lung disease more frequently in patients with diabetes. It was the purpose of this experiment to reveal the association between temsirolimus-induced lung disease and type 2 diabetes. Male moderate diabetic mice or control mice were administered by temsirolimus or vehicle. A subgroup of diabetic mice administered with temsirolimus was treated by rosilgitazone maleate, glimepiride, or vehicle. Temsirolimus worsened type 2 diabetes markedly in diabetic mice. However, lung inflammation in diabetic mice was equivalent to that in control mice. Rosiglitazone ameliorated temsirolimus-induced type 2 diabetes but not lung inflammation. Glimepiride did not ameliorate temsirolimus-induced type 2 disbetes.
