Dysregulation of cholesterol homeostasis in human lung cancer tissue and tumour-associated macrophages

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Based on reports on elevated cholesterol levels in cancer cells, strategies to lower cholesterol synthesis have been suggested as an antitumour strategy. However, cholesterol depletion has also been shown to induce tumour-promoting actions in tumour-associated macrophages (TAMs). METHODS: We performed lipidomic and transcriptomic analyses of human lung cancer material. To assess whether the TAM...
