The role and mechanism of fatty acid oxidation in cancer drug resistance.
Cancer is a leading cause of death globally. While drug treatment is the most commonly used method for cancer therapy, it is often hampered by drug resistance. Consequently, the mechanisms of drug resistance in cancer therapy have become a focus of current research. The mechanisms underlying cancer drug resistance are complex and may involve genetic mutation, immune escape, and metabolic reprogramming, amongst others. Metabolic reprogramming is an important marker of tumor cells, and an increasing number of studies have shown that cancer drug resistance is correlated with metabolic reprogramming, especially when fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is involved. More importantly, many preclinical studies have shown that when anti-tumor drugs are combined with FAO inhibitors, cancer cell resistance to drugs can be reversed and the effectiveness of tumor therapy is enhanced. This review provides a comprehensive overview of the mechanisms by which FAO leads to cancer resistance as well as potential targets for inhibition of FAO.
期刊介绍:
Cell Death Discovery is a multidisciplinary, international, online-only, open access journal, dedicated to publishing research at the intersection of medicine with biochemistry, pharmacology, immunology, cell biology and cell death, provided it is scientifically sound. The unrestricted access to research findings in Cell Death Discovery will foster a dynamic and highly productive dialogue between basic scientists and clinicians, as well as researchers in industry with a focus on cancer, neurobiology and inflammation research. As an official journal of the Cell Death Differentiation Association (ADMC), Cell Death Discovery will build upon the success of Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease in publishing important peer-reviewed original research, timely reviews and editorial commentary.
Cell Death Discovery is committed to increasing the reproducibility of research. To this end, in conjunction with its sister journals Cell Death & Differentiation and Cell Death & Disease, Cell Death Discovery provides a unique forum for scientists as well as clinicians and members of the pharmaceutical and biotechnical industry. It is committed to the rapid publication of high quality original papers that relate to these subjects, together with topical, usually solicited, reviews, editorial correspondence and occasional commentaries on controversial and scientifically informative issues.
