Abstract

Graphic abstract

Cellular senescence is a state of proliferative arrest, and the development of carcinoma can be suppressed by conferring tumor cell senescence. Recently, we found that carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C) controls tumor cell proliferation and senescence via regulating lipid metabolism and mitochondrial function. Here, 13C-metabolic flux analysis (13C-MFA) was performed and the results revealed that CPT1C knockdown in MDA-MB-231 cells significantly induced cellular senescence accompanied by altered fatty acid metabolism. Strikingly, stearate synthesis was decreased while oleate was increased. Furthermore, stearate significantly inhibited proliferation while oleate reversed the senescent phenotype induced by silencing CPT1C in MDA-MB-231 cells as well as PANC-1 cells. A939572, an inhibitor of stearoyl-Coenzyme A desaturase 1, had the same effect as stearate to inhibit cellular proliferation. These results demonstrated that stearate and oleate are involved in CPT1C-mediated tumor cellular senescence, and the regulation of stearate/oleate rate via inhibition of SCD-1 could be an additional strategy with depletion of CPT1C for cancer therapy.

Keywords: cellular senescence, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1C (CPT1C), metabolic flux analysis, stearate, oleate
