Increased fatty acid synthase is a therapeutic target in mesothelioma.
Many common human cancer tissues express high levels of fatty acid synthase (FAS), the primary enzyme for the synthesis of fatty acids, and the differential expression of FAS between normal and neoplastic tissues has led to the consideration of FAS as a target for anticancer therapy. To investigate the potential of targeting FAS for the treatment of pleural mesothelioma, we first determined whe...
متن کاملCD52 antigen may be a therapeutic target for eosinophilic rhinosinusitis.
Allergic rhinosinusitis involves several types of inflammatory cells. The dominant inflammatory cells include mast cells, eosinophils, lymphocytes, and monocytes/macrophages. Since eosinophils are one type of inflammatory cell that is often related to allergy, we investigated in this study whether the eosinophils present in rhinosinusitis may be potential targets for CD52 antibody treatment. Fi...
متن کاملRetraction: Fatty acid synthase is a novel therapeutic target in multiple myeloma
This study investigated the biological significance of the inhibition of fatty acid synthase (FAS) in multiple myeloma (MM) using the small molecule inhibitor Cerulenin. Cerulenin triggered growth inhibition in both MM cell lines and MM patient cells, and overcame the survival and growth advantages conferred by interleukin-6, insulin-like growth factor-1, and bone marrow stromal cells. It induc...
متن کاملA Fatty Acid Synthase Inhibitor Shows New Anticancer Mechanisms
The pharmacological modulation of proteins and molecules related up-regulation of FASN in precursor lesionsmight represent an obligatory to cancer is an important goal for translational science. Fatty acid synthase (FASN) is a complex dimeric protein that converts acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA into palmitic acid in a NADPH-dependent reaction in mammalian cells (Maier et al., 2006). Many cancers pr...
متن کاملFatty acid synthase as a novel target for meningioma therapy.
High levels of fatty acid synthase (FAS) expression have been reported in hormone receptor-positive tumors, including prostate, breast, and ovarian cancers, and its inhibition reduces tumor growth in vitro and in vivo. Similar to other hormone receptor-positive tumor types, meningiomas are progesterone receptor- and estrogen receptor-immunoreactive brain tumors. To define the role of FAS in hum...
