Lipid metabolic reprogramming and associated ferroptosis in osteosarcoma: From molecular mechanisms to potential targets by Zhiyang Yin, Guanlu Shen, Minjie Fan, Pengfei Zheng

“…Key enzymes such as adenosine triphosphate-citrate lyase (ACLY), acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2), fatty acid synthase (FASN) and stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD1) are overexpressed in OS and associated with poor prognosis.Based on specific changes in metabolic processes, this review highlights potential therapeutic targets in the lipid metabolism and ferroptosis pathways, and in particular the HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor simvastatin has shown potential in inducing apoptosis and inhibiting OS metastasis. Targeting these pathways provides new strategies for the treatment of OS. …”
