Abstract
Elevated SCD1 expression has been associated with enhanced cancer cell survival, proliferation, and resistance to therapy in many cancer types including gliomas. Hereby, we investigate the impact of MF-438 on SCD1-mediated lipid metabolism and its consequences on glioma growth and survival. Our data reveals an IDH mut -specific inhibitory effect of MF438 on gliomas. Also, we delineate a dual mechanism of action: while SCD1-mediated lipid metabolism is hindered by MF-438 treatment, MF-438 also exerts an SCD1-independent inhibition on DMT1 expression. Supporting data from the DMT1 blocker underscores its significance in MF-438's anti-glioma efficacy.
