Synthetic inhibition of SREBP2 and the mevalonate pathway blocks rhabdomyosarcoma tumor growth in vitro and in vivo and promotes chemosensitization by Silvia Codenotti, Michela Asperti, Maura Poli, Luisa Lorenzi, Alberto Pietrantoni, Matteo Cassandri, Francesco Marampon, Alessandro Fanzani

“…Results: In silico analysis showed upregulation of sterol regulatory element-binding protein 2 (SREBP2) and MVP genes, including 3-Hydroxy-3-Methylglutaryl-CoA Reductase (HMGCR), farnesyl-diphosphate synthase (FDPS), squalene epoxidase (SQLE), which correlated with worse overall patient survival. Targeting of MVP in human RD and RH30 lines by inhibitors of SREBP2 (fatostatin), HMGCR (lovastatin and simvastatin), and FDPS (zoledronic acid) resulted in impaired cell growth, migration, and viability, and increased oxidative cell death in combination with actinomycin D. …”
