Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Lipid metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of cancer, in which fatty acid synthesis is crucial for the rapid proliferation and metastasis of cancer cells. The p53-R280K mutation drives aggressive cancer, yet its role in fatty acid synthesis remains unclear. METHODS: The CRISPR/CasRx technique was applied to knockdown endogenous mutant p53-R280K in MDA-MB-231 cells and wild-type p53 (WT-p53) in ZR75-1...
