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

“…Fatostatin and lovastatin produced rapid attenuation of Erk1/2 and Akt1 signaling in RMS lines, and oral administration of lovastatin reduced tumor mass growth of xenografted RD cells in NOD/SCID mice. Finally, we found that forced Akt1 activation in RD cells was sufficient to drive SREBP2, HMGCR and SQLE protein expression, promoting increased susceptibility to MVP inhibitors. …”
