Remodeling Serine Synthesis and Metabolism via Nanoparticles (NPs)-Mediated CFL1 Silencing to Enhance the Sensitivity of Hepatocellular Carcinoma to Sorafenib.

ABSTRACT: Tyrosine kinase inhibitors represented by sorafenib are the first-line treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the low response rate of HCC patient has become a clinical pain-point. Emerging evidences have revealed that metabolic reprogramming plays an important role in regulating the sensitivity of tumor cells to various chemotherapeutics including sorafenib. However, the underlying mechanisms are very complex and are not fully elucidated. By comparing the transcriptome sequencing data of sorafenib-sensitive and -insensitive HCC patients, it is revealed that cofilin 1 (CFL1) is highly expressed in the tumor tissues of sorafenib-insensitive HCC patients and closely correlated with their poor prognosis. Mechanically, CFL1 can promote phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase transcription an
