Targeting Intracellular Cholesterol is a Novel Therapeutic Strategy for Cancer Treatment

Abstract

Chandi C Mandal and Md Mizanur Rahman 

Substantial data from cell culture and animal studies evidence the preventive effect of statins, cholesterol lowering-drugs, in regulation of cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. Various clinical studies also support this correlation between use of statin and the reduction of cancer incidence. However, in some cases, statins have failed to decrease the risk of cancer. Since, instead of serum cholesterol, intracellular cholesterol may play a crucial role in the regulation of tumorigenesis and metastasis. The mechanism by which cholesterol is stored within cancer cells may differ among cancer types and also in different individuals. This paper discusses the molecular detail to speculate the statin-sensitive cancer. It also highlights that statins may work better as anticancer therapy if it is used with the combination of a specific microRNA (miR).
