“…FASN is frequently overexpressed in a variety of tumor types including leukemias (Pizer et al, 1998;Visca et al, 2004;Bandyopadhyay et al, 2005;Alo et al, 1996;Shurbaji et al, 1996;Rashid et al, 1997;Diaz-Blanco et al, 2007) while its expression in healthy adult tissues is low (Weiss et al, 1986), with the exception of the cycling endometrium (Pizer et al, 1997) and lactating breast (Maningat et al, 2009). Interestingly, FASN is upregulated in tumor associated myeloid cells where it activates nuclear receptor peroxisome-proliferatoractivated receptor beta/delta (PPAR/) (Park et al, 2015), a key metabolic transcription factor in tumorigenesis (Peters & Gonzalez, 2009;Zuo et al, 2009). Of note, activation of PPAR/ regulates anti-inflammatory phenotypes of myeloid cells in other biological contexts such as atherosclerosis and obesity (Han Jung-Kyu et al, 2008;Kang et al, 2008;Lee et al, 2003;Odegaard et al, 2008).…”
