To review the mechanisms by which stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 promotes tumor progression and evaluate its potential as a target for anticancer therapy.
Synthesized findings from preclinical studies evaluating SCD1 expression, fatty acid desaturation, and downstream oncogenic signaling in various tumor types.
Evaluated preclinical performance and mechanisms of action for chemical inhibitors targeting SCD1.
Elevated SCD1 expression strongly correlates with enhanced tumor proliferation, migration, metastasis, and poorer clinical prognosis across diverse cancer types.
SCD1 activity sustains cancer stem cell phenotypes and mediates resistance to conventional chemotherapy through lipid membrane alteration and signaling modulation.
Pharmacological inhibition of SCD1 exhibits marked antitumor activity in preclinical cancer models, supporting its utility as a therapeutic target.
