Mutant p53-R280K Reprograms Lipid Synthesis in Breast Cancer
2026-08-29
The 2026 Molecular Biology Reports study identifies a gain-of-function mechanism in which mutant p53-R280K co-opts SREBP1 to activate FASN transcription, intensifying de novo fatty acid synthesis. Its genetic, biochemical, cellular, and animal experiments connect this metabolic rewiring to breast cancer growth and metastasis while establishing FASN dependence as a central mechanistic finding.
