Abstract:Cancer cells are characterized by altered metabolism. As the key enzyme in cancer cells that promotes glutamine catabolism to glutamate and ammonia, glutaminase 1 (GLS1) is highly associated with a variety of human malignancies. However, its role in lipid metabolism in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains to be revealed. Our findings show that GLS1 is not only significantly highly expressed in HCC, but also negatively correlates with clinical prognosis. Further studies showed that GLS1 promotes lipid accumul… Show more
