Fig. 7From: Hypoxia upregulating ACSS2 enhances lipid metabolism reprogramming through HMGCS1 mediated PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway to promote the progression of pancreatic neuroendocrine neoplasmsHMGCS1 reversed the oncogenic effects of ACSS2 and regulated lipid metabolism. A–C Overexpression of HMGCS1 reversed the inhibitory effect of ACSS2 knocked down on pNENs cell migration and invasion. D Overexpression of HMGCS1 reversed the inhibitory effect of ACSS2 knocked down on PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway. E Overexpression of HMGCS1 in ACSS2 knocked down pNENs cells increased the lipid droplets. F Overexpression of HMGCS1 in ACSS2 knocked down pNENs cells increased the triglyceride. *p < 0.05, **p < 0.01, ***p < 0.001, ****p < 0.0001Back to article page
