Abstract:

Lipid metabolism reprogramming is one of the most prominent characteristics of cancer, but it is still unclear which regulatory pathways underlie this process in cancer cells. Circular RNAs (circRNAs) represent a novel category of non-coding RNAs with multifaceted regulatory functions. While the biological roles of circRNAs in cancer have been elucidated, there remains a dearth of knowledge regarding their involvement and regulatory mechanisms in lipid metabolism within the context of cancer. This article provides an overview of the regulatory roles and specific mechanisms of circRNAs in cancer lipid metabolism reprogramming. By elucidating these mechanisms, it enhances our comprehension of the metabolic rewiring driving tumour development and uncovers new avenues for targeted therapy.

Overview of Lipid Metabolism

Overview of Lipid Metabolism

Lipid metabolism is a crucial process in the human body that involves the synthesis and degradation of lipids. This process is essential for energy production, cell membrane formation, and hormone production, among other functions.
Lipolysis: The Breakdown of Lipids:
Lipolysis is the process of breaking down lipids, particularly triglycerides, into glycerol and fatty acids. This process typically occurs in the adipose tissue and is triggered by various hormones, including glucagon and...

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression

The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.
The mTOR pathway or the...

Lipid Digestion

Lipid Digestion

Lipids are large molecules that are generally not water-soluble. Since most of the digestive enzymes in the human body are water-based, there are specific steps the body must take to break down lipids and make them available for use.
