Novel Lipogenic Enzyme ELOVL7 Involves in Prostate Cancer Growth through Saturated Fatty-acid and Steroid Metabolism
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We identified a novel lipogenic gene, ELOVL7, as an over-expressed gene in prostate cancer (PC) cells and it is involved in elongation of long-chain fatty acids and can play some important roles in prostate carcinogenesis. To investigate into downstream pathways of ELOVL7, we performed the gene expression analysis by the genome-wide cDNA microarrays. The genome–wide gene expression patterns were compared between PC cells transfected with siELOVL7 and these with siCONTROL and between the ELOVL7-overexpressing in-vivo tumors in mice bread with high fat diet (HFD) and those with normal diet (ND). HFD treatment significantly promoted the growth of ELOVL7-overexpressed PC cells in vivo. As a result, we identified five genes (IER3, HDAC8, GDF15, UGT2B11, and S1PR3) whose expressions were down-regulated with 20% and more in ELOVL7 knockdown and also were up-regulated with 20% and more in the tumors in the mice bread with HFD.
