FFA/NEFA Cancer Research Results

FFA/NEFA, Free fatty acids — FFA / non-esterified fatty acids, NEFA: Click to Expand ⟱
Source:
Type: Biomarker 
Free fatty acids may be measured in plasma, tumour tissue, culture medium, or intracellular lipid pools. They provide substrates for:

β-oxidation and ATP production;
membrane lipid synthesis;
lipid signalling;
eicosanoid production;
protein acylation.

However, excessive FFAs can cause lipotoxicity, ROS generation, ER stress, lipid peroxidation, or ferroptosis. Therefore, FFA ↑ is not automatically tumour-promoting or beneficial.

6984- Form,    Formononetin suppresses colitis-associated colon cancer by targeting lipid synthesis and mTORC2/Akt signaling
- in-vitro, Colon, HCT116 - Review, IBD, RAW264.7
*Inflam↓, Modern research highlights Formononetin (FN) for its significant anti-inflammatory and extensively studied anti-cancer properties;
AntiCan↑,
*NF-kB↓, FN can inhibit the activation of the NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathways in LPS-induced RAW264.7 cells, thereby exerting its anti-inflammatory effects.
*MAPK↓,
*colonLen↑, FN significantly enhanced the colon length and DAI score in mice, notably suppressed the production of inflammatory cytokines, and inhibited the NF-κB/MAPK signaling pathway, leading to an improvement in DSS-induced colitis.
TumCG↓, FN significantly inhibited CT-26 and HCT116 cell growth, reduced tumor growth rate, improved pathological damage in CAC mice, and inhibited inflammatory factor production, enhancing intestinal mucosa protection.
Apoptosis↑, FN promoted apoptosis of colon cancer cells by increasing autophagy proteins (LC3, Beclin-1) and apoptosis proteins (CL-Caspase3, Bax), while reducing Bcl-2 expression.
LC3II↑,
Beclin-1↑,
cl‑Casp3↑,
BAX↑,
Bcl-2↓,
IGF-1↓, FN reduced IGF-1, ACLY, A-CoA, FAS, HSL, ATGL, and FFA levels, and increased GSK-3 levels
ACLY↓,
Acetyl-CoA↓,
Fas↓,
HSL/LIPE↓,
ATGL/PNPLA2↓,
FFA/NEFA↓,
GSK‐3β↑,
p‑mTOR↓, FN also inhibited the expression of P-mTOR, Rictor, P-Akt, ACLY, PDE3B, P-PKA, and P-HSL
Rictor↓,
p‑Akt↓,
PDE3B↓,
p‑PKA↓,
p‑HSL/LIPE↑,
TumAuto↑, FN significantly inhibits colon cancer cell growth and exerts anti-CAC effects by activating autophagy and apoptosis pathways and regulating lipid metabolism.

7630- Ins,    Modulation of both Insulin Resistance and Cancer Growth by Inositol
- Review, Var, NA - Review, Diabetic, NA
*IRes↓, number of synthetic and natural insulin sensitizers, including inositol, have been recognized to exert both anti-diabetic as well as anti-cancer properties.
*AntiDiabetic↑,
*glucose↝, beneficial effect of inositol in fostering glucose homeostasis as well as in antagonizing cancer growth.
AntiCan↑,
PI3K↓, NOSITOL INHIBITS THE PI3K/AKT PATHWAY IN CANCER CELLS
Akt↓,
Glycolysis↓, On the contrary, in cancer cells, IPGs and myo-Ins inhibits Akt reducing both glycolysis and glucose entry in the cell, while re-establishing the oxidative degradation of carbohydrates along the TCA.
STK11/LKB1↑, As inositol enhances specifically the LKB1 activity, it is worth noting that the AMPK-related anticancer activities are tightly dependent of that pathway
*FASN↓, Inositol inhibits fatty acids biosynthesis and reduces plasma LDL-cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) levels [74-76].
*LDL↓,
*FFA/NEFA↓,
*ROS↓, Myo-Ins counteracts oxidative damage in fish exposed to environmental oxidative stress
ROS↑, anti-oxidant effects seem to be contextdependent, given that in cancer cells inositol actually increases free radical production
IGF-1↓, Furthermore, myoIns may likely inhibit IGF-1 release downstream of the induced inhibition
