Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are responsible for binding and storing hydrophobic ligands such as long-chain fatty acids, and for transporting these ligands to the appropriate compartments within the cell. The present study demonstrates that the FABP5 gene is upregulated in colorectal cancer cells compared to normal colon cells in a manner that correlates with disease stage and that FABP5 significantly promotes colorectal cancer cell growth and metastatic potential. Thus, FABP5 might be a promising prognostic or therapeutic biomarker candidate in human colorectal cancer.
脂肪酸结合蛋白(FABPs)负责结合和储存疏水性配体,如长链脂肪酸,并将这些配体转运至细胞内的适当区室。本研究表明,与正常结肠细胞相比,FABP5基因在结肠癌细胞中上调,其上调方式与疾病分期相关,且FABP5显著促进结肠癌细胞生长和转移潜能。因此,FABP5可能是人类结肠癌中有前景的预后或治疗生物标志物候选物。
