SREBF1 and colorectal carcinoma: It was shown that the level of sterol-regulatory element-binding protein-1 (SREBP-1), a critical transcription factor involved in lipid synthesis and metabolism, would be upregulated through Akt and p70S6K signaling pathways while CRC cells are cultured in ACM, which subsequently decreases the cell sensitivity to 5-FU cytotoxicity.
