Abstract

The development of metastasis is a leading cause of cancer-related death that involves specific changes in the plasma membrane (PM) and nucleus of cancer cells. Elevated levels of membrane lipids, including sphingomyelin, cholesterol, and phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P2), in the PM, contribute to changes in membrane rigidity, lipid raft formation, and actin polymerisation dynamics, processes that drive cell invasion. This review discusses the relationship between well-studied cytoplasmic phosphoinositides and their lesser-known nuclear counterparts, highlighting their functional role in metastatic progression. Nuclear phosphoinositides, particularly PI(4,5)P2, are essential for regulating transcription factors and chromatin organisation, thereby shaping gene expression patterns. We also explore the role of PI(4,5)P2 and its metabolism in cancer cell invasiveness and metastasis, proposing a model in which the dysregulation of cytosolic and/or nuclear PI(4,5)P2 pool triggers malignant transformation. Understanding the PI(4,5)P2-related mechanisms underlying metastasis may provide insights into potential therapeutic targets, paving the way for more effective therapies and improved patient outcomes.

期刊介绍： Lipids in Health and Disease is an open access, peer-reviewed, journal that publishes articles on all aspects of lipids: their biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, role in health and disease, and the synthesis of new lipid compounds. Lipids in Health and Disease is aimed at all scientists, health professionals and physicians interested in the area of lipids. Lipids are defined here in their broadest sense, to include: cholesterol, essential fatty acids, saturated fatty acids, phospholipids, inositol lipids, second messenger lipids, enzymes and synthetic machinery that is involved in the metabolism of various lipids in the cells and tissues, and also various aspects of lipid transport, etc. In addition, the journal also publishes research that investigates and defines the role of lipids in various physiological processes, pathology and disease. In particular, the journal aims to bridge the gap between the bench and the clinic by publishing articles that are particularly relevant to human diseases and the role of lipids in the management of various diseases.
