Pharmacologic and genetic inhibition of cholesterol esterification reduces tumour burden: a pan-cancer systematic review and meta-analysis of preclinical models
2021-06-14
Abstract excerpt
Cholesterol esterification proteins Sterol-O acyltransferases (SOAT) 1 and 2 are emerging prognostic markers in many cancers. These enzymes utilise fatty acids conjugated to coenzyme A to esterify cholesterol. Cholesterol esterification is tightly regulated and enables formation of lipid droplets that act as storage organelles for lipid soluble vitamins and minerals, and as cholesterol reservoirs. In cancer, this...
