Lysophosphatidic Acid Activates Lipogenic Pathways and de Novo Lipid Synthesis in Ovarian Cancer Cells
5 Jun 2012
Abstract excerpt
One of the most common molecular changes in cancer is the increased endogenous lipid synthesis, mediated primarily by overexpression and/or hyperactivity of fatty acid synthase (FAS) and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC). The changes in these key lipogenic enzymes are critical for the development and maintenance of the malignant phenotype. Previous efforts to control oncogenic lipogenesis have been focused on...
