Turk et al., lysophosphatidylcholine acyltransferase 1 (LPCAT1) could regulate the expression of cholesterol synthase squalene monooxygenase (SQLE) by facilitating the activation of PI3K, promoting the entry of SREBP1 into the nucleus, and eventually achieving re-cholesterol metabolism reprogramming, thus promoting the occurrence and development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [136]. Here, SREBF1 is linked to esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
