Leucine deprivation inhibits proliferation and induces apoptosis of human breast cancer cells via fatty acid synthase
Substantial studies on fatty acid synthase (FASN) have focused on its role in regulating lipid metabolism and researchers have a great interest in treating cancer with dietary manipulation of amino acids. In the current study, we found that leucine deprivation caused the FASN-dependent anticancer effect. Here we showed that leucine deprivation inhibited cell proliferation and induced apoptosis ...
متن کاملTumor suppressive microRNA-424 inhibits osteosarcoma cell migration and invasion via targeting fatty acid synthase
Numerous studies have recently suggested that miRNAs contribute to the development of various types of human cancer as well as to their invasive and metastatic capacities. The aim of this study was to investigate the functional significance of miR-424 and to identify its possible target genes in osteosarcoma (OS) cells. Previously, inhibition of fatty acid synthase (FASN) has been shown to supp...
متن کاملRetinoic acid-mediated transcription and maturation of SREBP-1c regulates fatty acid synthase via cis-elements responsible for nutritional regulation.
A region of the rat FAS (fatty acid synthase) promoter has been defined as being responsible for RA (retinoic acid) responsiveness. The defined promoter region is devoid of canonical RA-response elements but contains cis-elements binding generalized and specific transcription factors that mediate the dietary response of FAS. Our results are consistent with SREBP-1c (sterol-regulatory-element-bi...
متن کاملRetinoic acid induces PGI synthase expression in human endothelial cells.
Retinoic acid (RA) exhibits anti-inflammatory, anti-tumor, and immuno-modulatory actions, and affects angiogenesis and thrombosis. Arachidonic acid (AA) metabolites are involved in all these processes. We explored the effect of RA on AA metabolism in human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs). 13-cis-RA increased the release of prostaglandin I(2) (PGI(2)), both spontaneous and thrombin-ind...
متن کاملRetinol inhibits the growth of all-trans-retinoic acid-sensitive and all-trans-retinoic acid-resistant colon cancer cells through a retinoic acid receptor-independent mechanism.
Retinol (vitamin A) is thought to exert its effects through the actions of its metabolite, all-trans-retinoic acid (ATRA), on gene transcription mediated by retinoic acid receptors (RAR) and retinoic acid response elements (RARE). However, retinoic acid resistance limits the chemotherapeutic potential of ATRA. We examined the ability of retinol to inhibit the growth of ATRA-sensitive (HCT-15) a...
