Caveolin-1-mediated sphingolipid oncometabolism underlies a metabolic vulnerability of prostate cancer

The mechanisms associated with Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) mediated metabolic changes in prostate cancer are unclear. Here, the authors show that Cav-1 promotes rewiring of cancer cell lipid metabolism towards a program of exogenous lipid scavenging and vesicle biogenesis that intersects with mitochondrial d...

Description
Summary:The mechanisms associated with Caveolin-1 (Cav-1) mediated metabolic changes in prostate cancer are unclear. Here, the authors show that Cav-1 promotes rewiring of cancer cell lipid metabolism towards a program of exogenous lipid scavenging and vesicle biogenesis that intersects with mitochondrial dynamics in prostate tumors.
