FABP4 binding cancer cells exhibit an invasive phenotype via PKC-mitoROS signaling

Listed in NCBI GEO

Using several high-fat diet-induced murine obesity models, we demonstrate that obesity promotes breast cancer lung metastasis through elevated levels of adipocyte-derived circulating FABP4.

Description

Circulating FABP4 directly binds to a subset of breast cancer cells via the membrane lipid PIP2. This FABP4/PIP2 interaction activates PKC signaling and enhances mitochondrial ROS production, driving cancer cell migration. these findings identify circulating FABP4 as a critical mediator of obesity-driven metastasis and highlight it as a promising therapeutic target for treating metastatic breast cancer.
