PMID- 34775260 OWN - NLM STAT- MEDLINE DCOM- 20211224 LR - 20211224 IS - 2210-7762 (Print) VI - 258-259 DP - 2021 Nov TI - Tumor-intrinsic FABP5 is a novel driver for colon cancer cell growth via the HIF-1 signaling pathway. PG - 151-156 LID - S2210-7762(21)00220-9 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.cancergen.2021.11.001 [doi] AB - Dysfunctional lipid metabolism is a known cause of cancer development and progression, yet little is known about the underlying molecular mechanisms that contribute to cancer progression. In this study, we demonstrate that fatty acid binding protein 5 (FABP5) is elevated in colon cancer tissue and this increased expression is linked to upregulation of the hypoxia-inducible factor-1 (HIF-1) signaling pathway. Under physiologically in vivo mimicked conditions via a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)-based three-dimensional (3D) culture chip, FABP5-knockdown colon cancer cells exhibited attenuated cell growth throughout the culture period. FABP5 was found to regulate HIF-1alpha protein levels and gene expression levels within the HIF-1alpha signaling pathway under hypoxic conditions. Our results provide evidence that supports the use of FABP5 as a prognostic factor in colon cancer. The FABP5/HIF-1alpha axis is a promising target for ameliorating fatty acid-triggered cancer progression. CI - Copyright (c) 2021 The Author(s). Published by Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
