摘要: Fatty-acid synthase (FAS) is up-regulated in a broad range of cancers, including those the breast, prostate, and ovaries. In tumor cells, inhibition FAS elicits cell cycle arrest apoptosis, so it considered potential drug target for oncology. Results from this study show that FAS, by either knockdown with small interfering RNA or molecule orlistat, leads to activation receptor-mediated apoptotic cascade (caspase-8-mediated) ultimately death. However, two enzymes upstream acetyl-CoA carboxylase-α ATP-citrate lyase, fails activate caspase-8 elicit apoptosis even though palmitate synthesis was suppressed. Using differential gene analysis, we traced unique effect up-regulation DDIT4 (DNA damage-inducible transcript 4), stress-response negatively regulates mTOR pathway. These findings indicate suppression not sufficient eliciting death suggest results negative regulation pathway via DDIT4.
