Abstract 3370: Fatty acid desaturase 1 (FADS1) is associated with cancer survival via altering cell growth and can be a novel drug target for cancer treatment
Abstract:Polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) plays an important role in cancer biology. Fatty acid desaturase1 (FADS1) is a key rate-limiting enzyme in omega-3 and omega-6 PUFA metabolism. We aim to investigate the association between FADS1 and survival outcomes among cancer patients. Univariable and multivariable Cox regression models were performed for FADS1 mRNA expression levels on disease-free survival (DFS) and overall survival (OS) using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) public datasets. We also investigated the path… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
