The multifaceted roles of fatty acid synthesis in cancer

TL;DR: This Review explores how different aspects of FA synthesis promote tumorigenesis and tumour progression and strategies to target this pathway have not yet translated into clinical practice.

Metabolic regulation of cell growth and proliferation.

TL;DR: A better understanding of how cells utilize nutrients for biosynthetic pathways and how they overcome the metabolic challenges associated with high proliferation rates can lead to better control of cell proliferation and improved cancer treatments.

JAK/STAT3-Regulated Fatty Acid β-Oxidation Is Critical for Breast Cancer Stem Cell Self-Renewal and Chemoresistance.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that JAK/STAT3 regulates lipid metabolism, which promotes breast CSCs (BCSCs) and cancer chemoresistance, and human breast-cancer-derived data suggest that the STAT3-CPT1B-FAO pathway promotes cancer cell stemness and Chemoresistance.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging roles of lipid metabolism in cancer metastasis

TL;DR: The present review is focused on key enzymes in lipid metabolism associated with metastatic disease pathogenesis and the function of an important membrane structure-lipid raft in mediating tumor aggressive progression.

HIF-1-mediated expression of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase: A metabolic switch required for cellular adaptation to hypoxia

TL;DR: A hypoxia-induced metabolic switch that shunts glucose metabolites from the mitochondria to glycolysis to maintain ATP production and to prevent toxic ROS production is revealed.

Antiangiogenic Therapy Elicits Malignant Progression of Tumors to Increased Local Invasion and Distant Metastasis

TL;DR: It is reported that angiogenesis inhibitors targeting the VEGF pathway demonstrate antitumor effects in mouse models of pancreatic neuroendocrine carcinoma and glioblastoma but concomitantly elicit tumor adaptation and progression to stages of greater malignancy, with heightened invasiveness and in some cases increased lymphatic and distant metastasis.

Accelerated Metastasis after Short-Term Treatment with a Potent Inhibitor of Tumor Angiogenesis

TL;DR: It is reported that the VEGFR/PDGFR kinase inhibitor sunitinib/SU11248 can accelerate metastatic tumor growth and decrease overall survival in mice receiving short-term therapy in various metastasis assays, including after intravenous injection of tumor cells or after removal of primary orthotopically grown tumors.

Targeting lactate-fueled respiration selectively kills hypoxic tumor cells in mice

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identified monocarboxylate transporter 1 (MCT1) as the prominent path for lactate uptake by a human cervix squamous carcinoma cell line that preferentially utilized lactate for oxidative metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cellular fatty acid metabolism and cancer

TL;DR: Evidence that limiting fatty acid availability can control cancer cell proliferation is summarized, and a view of cancer cell metabolism from a lipid perspective is provided.
