Abstract
- Lipid droplets (LD) accumulation correlates with colorectal cancer (CRC) relapse. Here the authors show that chemotherapy induces LD synthesis via acyltransferase LPCAT2 which, in turn, promotes chemoresistance via LD accumulation both in vitro and in vivo by blocking chemotherapy-induced ER stress.
