SCD1 inhibition causes cancer cell death by depleting mono-unsaturated fatty acids.

SCD1 inhibition causes cancer cell death by depleting mono-unsaturated fatty acids.

Increased metabolism is a requirement for tumor cell proliferation. To understand the dependence of tumor cells on fatty acid metabolism, we evaluated various nodes of the fatty acid synthesis pathway. Using RNAi we have demonstrated that depletion of fatty-acid synthesis pathway enzymes SCD1, FASN,...
