Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is characterized by lipid droplets storage in tumor cytoplasm. Previous studies suggested that fatty acids and cholesterol metabolic abnormalities play an important role in the progression of the disease. However, as one of the main components of lipid droplets, the role of phospholipid metabolism in the malignant progression of ccRCC has not been systematically and deeply studied. Thus, our group has carried on the preliminary exploration in view of this question. The results showed that the expression of LPCAT1 and accompanying phospholipid metabolic alterations in ccRCC tissues were closely related to the malignancy, prognosis and biological behavior of ccRCC; LPCAT1 is one of the key enzymes that catalyze the synthesis of intracellular lipid droplets, and its expression may affect the activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR signaling pathway. Based on this, we hypothesis that the overexpression of LPCAT1 promotes the development and progression of ccRCC, likely via promotion of lipid droplets accumulation and activation of PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. In this study, we intended to confirm the above scientific hypothesis at cell line, animal model and clinical specimen levels. In order to further clarify the role of lipid metabolism alterations in the progression of ccRCC.
胞浆内存在大量脂滴蓄积是肾透明细胞癌(ccRCC)的一个重要特点,既往研究结果提示脂肪酸和胆固醇等脂质代谢异常在该疾病恶性进展中发挥重要作用。但作为胞浆内脂滴主要构成成分之一的磷脂,其代谢改变在ccRCC恶性进展中的作用尚无系统深入研究。本课题组针对这一问题进行前期探索,结果发现ccRCC组织中溶血磷脂酰胆碱酰基转移酶1(LPCAT1)的表达变化及其所致的磷脂代谢平衡改变与ccRCC的恶性程度、预后和肿瘤生物学行为均密切相关;LPCAT1是催化胞内脂滴合成的关键酶之一,且其表达变化可影响PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路的激活状态。基于此,本课题拟在细胞系、动物模型和临床标本三个层面证实如下科学假说:ccRCC中表达上调的LPCAT1可通过增加胞内脂滴蓄积及激活PI3K/AKT/mTOR信号通路,进而促进ccRCC的恶性进展。以期进一步揭示脂质代谢异常在ccRCC恶性进展中发挥的作用。
