ADIPOQ and cancer: Omental adipocytes secreting multiple adipokines, such as IL-8, IL-6, MCP-1, TIMP-1, and adiponectin, promote ovarian cancer cells to metastasize to the omentum via upregulation of lipolysis-related enzymes (PLIN and HSL) in omental adipocytes, FA transport protein (FABP4), and FAO-related enzymes (CPT1 and acyl-CoA oxidase 1) in cancer cells [16].
