Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed malignant neoplasm in men in the Western world. Localized low-risk PCa has an excellent prognosis thanks to effective local treatments; however, despite the incorporation of new therapeutic strategies, metastatic PCa remains incurable mainly due to disease heterogeneity and the development of resistance to therapy. The mechanisms underlying PCa progression and therapy resistance are multiple and include metabolic reprogramming, especially in relation to lipid metabolism, as well as epigenetic remodelling, both of which enable cancer cells to adapt to dynamic changes in the tumour. Interestingly, metabolism and epigenetics are interconnected. Metabolism can regulate epigenetics through the direct influence of metabolites on epigenetic processes, while epigenetics can control metabolism by directly or indirectly regulating the expression of metabolic genes. Moreover, epidemiological studies suggest an association between a high-fat diet, which can alter the availability of metabolites, and PCa progression. Here, we review the alterations of lipid metabolism and epigenetics in PCa, before focusing on the mechanisms that connect them. We also discuss the influence of diet in this scenario. This information may help to identify prognostic and predictive biomarkers as well as targetable vulnerabilities.
前列腺癌(PCa)是西方世界男性最常见的恶性肿瘤。由于有效的局部治疗,局限性低危 PCa 具有极好的预后;然而,尽管采用了新的治疗策略,转移性 PCa 仍然无法治愈,主要是由于疾病异质性和对治疗的耐药性发展。PCa 进展和耐药性的机制是多方面的,包括代谢重编程,特别是与脂质代谢有关,以及表观遗传重塑,这两者使癌细胞能够适应肿瘤的动态变化。有趣的是,代谢和表观遗传学是相互关联的。代谢可以通过代谢物对表观遗传过程的直接影响来调节表观遗传学,而表观遗传学可以通过直接或间接调节代谢基因的表达来控制代谢。此外,流行病学研究表明高脂肪饮食与 PCa 进展之间存在关联,高脂肪饮食会改变代谢物的可获得性。在这里,我们回顾了 PCa 中脂质代谢和表观遗传学的改变,然后重点讨论了将它们联系起来的机制。我们还讨论了饮食在这种情况下的影响。这些信息可能有助于识别预后和预测生物标志物以及可靶向的脆弱性。
