Received: 28 June 2020; Accepted: 16 September 2020; Published: 18 September 2020 Abstract: Reprogramming of cellular energy metabolism, such as lipid metabolism, is a hallmark of squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN). However, whether protein expression related to fatty acid oxidation (FAO) affects survival in SCCHN remains unclear. We aimed to investigate FAO-related enzyme expression and determine its correlation with clinicopathological variables in SCCHN patients. Immunohistochemical analysis (IHC) of FAO-related protein expression, including carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1 (CPT1), the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, and fatty acid synthase (FAS), was performed using tissue microarrays from 102 resected SCCHN tumors. Expressions were categorized according to IHC scores, and the statistical association with clinicopathological factors was determined. Moderate-to-high expression of long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCAD) had a protective role against cancer-related death (adjusted hazard ratio (HR), 0.2; 95% confidence interval (CI), 0.05–0.87) after covariate adjustment. Age and clinical stage remained independent predictors of survival (adjusted HR, 1.75; 95% CI, 1.22–2.49 for age; adjusted HR, 14.33; 95% CI, 1.89–108.60 for stage III/IV disease). Overexpression of medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and FAS correlated with advanced tumor stage (T3/T4); however, none of these factors were independent predictors of survival. Several FAO-related enzymes were upregulated and LCAD overexpression had a protective effect on overall survival in advanced SCCHN patients. FAO-related-enzyme expression might have a prognostic impact on survival outcomes in SCCHN. Keywords: fatty acid metabolism; head and neck; squamous cell carcinoma; long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase 1. Introduction Squamous cell carcinoma of the head and neck (SCCHN) is one of the leading causes of cancer-related death globally [1]. One of the hallmarks of SCCHN is the reprogramming of cellular Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2020, 21, 6851; doi:10.3390/ijms21186851 www.mdpi.com/journal/ijms Int. J. Mol. Sci. 2020, 21, 6851 2 of 13 energy metabolism [2,3]. SCCHN tumors expressing a high level of phosphorylated acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1 (pACC1) or ACC2 are associated with decreased survival [4,5]. The major cellular function of ACC is to produce malonyl-CoA from acetyl-CoA for fatty acid synthesis [6]. Phosphorylation of ACC inhibits catabolic functions such as lipid storage and causes cellular metabolism to switch to fatty acid oxidation (FAO) [7]. FAO is a catabolic process by which fatty acid molecules are broken down enzymatically. In mammalian cells, FAO primarily occurs in mitochondria except for the oxidation of very-long-chain fatty acids, which occurs in peroxisomes [8]. The major enzymes involved in FAO include carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT), the acyl-CoA dehydrogenase family, and hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase/3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase/enoyl-CoA hydratase (HADHA). The acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (ACAD) family includes very-long-chain, long-chain, medium-chain, and short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (VLCAD, LCAD, MCAD, and SCAD, respectively) [9]. In addition to useful intermediates, the final product of FAO is acetyl-CoA, which enters the citric acid cycle in the mitochondrion for energy generation. Despite the negative correlation of pACC1 or ACC2 expression with clinical outcome [4,5], it remains unclear whether the expression of the enzymes involved in FAO is associated with cancer progression in SCCHN. Therefore, this study aimed to retrospectively examine the expressions of major enzymes involved in FAO in patients with resected SCCHN and determine the correlation with clinicopathological variables. 2. Results 2.1. Incidence of Expression of Fao-Related Proteins in Scchn Tumors and Patient Characteristics According to Survival Status, Age, and Clinical Stage A total of 102 patients with SCCHN were included in the study between 1 January 2011, and 31 December 2012. The median follow-up time was 5.1 years (interquartile range (IQR), 2.6–6.1). Twenty-nine patients died during the study period. The clinicopathological characteristics of the patients are listed in Table1. Table 1. Characteristics of patients (n = 102).

Between the cisplatin-resistant and -sensitive cells, a total of 359 protein spots were differently expressed (>1.5 fold), and 217 proteins (83.0%) were identified. We focused on a mitochondrial protein, hydroxyl-coenzyme A dehydrogenase/3-ketoacyl-coenzyme A thiolase/enoyl-coenzyme A hydratase alpha subunit (HADHA), which was increased in all cisplatin-resistant cells. Furthermore, pre- treated biopsy specimens taken from patients who showed resistance to platinum-based treatment showed a significantly higher positive rate for HADHA in all cases (p=0.00367), including non-small cell lung carcinomas (p=0.002), small-cell lung carcinomas (p=0.038), and adenocarcinomas (p=0.008). These results suggest that the expression of HADHA may be a useful marker to predict resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy in patients with lung cancer. Keywords: Cisplatin - HADHA - lung cancer - two-dimensional gel electrophoresis Asian Pacific J Cancer Prev, 12, 3457-3463 Introduction cisplatin resistance rose due to a decrease of blood flow in the tumor and increased DNA repair (Stewart, 2007), Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related the mechanisms underlying cisplatin resistance have not death in the world, and the five-year overall survival rate yet been clarified, and an effective cisplatin resistance is still below 16% (Jemal et al., 2009).

  • (LCHAD) Deficiency / Mitochondrial Trifunctional Protein (MTF) Deficiency
    Long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency / Mitochondrial trifunctional protein (MTF) deficiency Contact details Introduction Regional Genetics Service Long chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (LCHAD) deficiency / mitochondrial trifunctional Levels 4-6, Barclay House protein (MTF) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder of mitochondrial beta- 37 Queen Square oxidation of fatty acids. The mitochondrial trifunctional protein is composed of 4 alpha London, WC1N 3BH and 4 beta subunits, which are encoded by the HADHA and HADHB genes, respectively. It is characterized by early-onset cardiomyopathy, hypoglycemia, T +44 (0) 20 7762 6888 neuropathy, and pigmentary retinopathy, and sudden death. There is also an infantile F +44 (0) 20 7813 8578 onset form with a hepatic Reye-like syndrome, and a late-adolescent onset form with primarily a skeletal myopathy. Tandem mass spectrometry of organic acids in urine, Samples required and carnitines in blood spots, allows the diagnosis to be unequivocally determined.

Melanoma cells are able to adapt to the tumor microenvironment by using a variety of fuels that contribute to tumor growth and progression. In this review, the authors summarize the contribution of the lipid metabolic network in melanoma plasticity and aggressiveness, with a particular attention to specific lipid classes such as glycerophospholipids, sphingolipids, sterols and eicosanoids.
