Source:

Type:

3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA reductase (HMGCR)
– HMGCR catalyzes the conversion of HMG-CoA to mevalonate, a critical step in the cholesterol biosynthesis pathway.
– Cholesterol is essential for maintaining cell membrane integrity and serves as a precursor for steroid hormones, which can influence tumor growth.

– In certain contexts, elevated HMGCR expression has been linked to more aggressive tumor phenotypes, increased proliferation, and, in some cases, poorer overall survival.

HMG-CoA↓, inhibition of HMGCR by statins, however, induces feedback, which paradoxically upregulates HMGCR expression via sterol regulatory element-binding protein-2 (SREBP2)
SREBP2↓, Dipyridamole, an antiplatelet agent, is known to inhibit SREBP2 upregulation.
eff↑, the inexpensive and frequently prescribed statin–dipyridamole combination therapy may lead to new developments in the treatment of melanoma and may potentiate the effects of vemurafenib for the targeted therapy of BRAF V600E-mutation bearing melanoma
