Protein myristoylation links a high fat diet with prostate tumor progression in mice

Abstract

Exogenous fatty acids provide substrates for energy production and the biogenesis of the cytoplasmic membrane, but they also enhance cellular signaling during cancer cell proliferation. However, it remains controversial whether dietary fatty acids are correlated with tumor progression. Additionally, the molecular mechanisms explaining the effect of dietary fatty acids in promoting prostate cancer progression remains unknown.
