However, lipids containing high levels of SFAs (particularly C17:0) and low levels of UFAs (C18:1) may exhibit a special inhibitory effect against NSCLC cells (Supplementary Figure S1), consistent with a recent report that showed that an increased ratio of UFA/SFA triggered by stearoyl-CoA desaturase 1 (SCD1) could reduce the cytotoxicity of SFA toward tumor cells (Lien et al., 2021). The gene discussed is SCD; the disease is non-small cell lung carcinoma.
