Signaling lipids have been shown to play multifaceted roles ranging from cell proliferation, metabolism, invasion, migration, and apoptosis. Mechanistically, these enzymes and their downstream targets constitute complicated and intertwined lipid signaling networks with multiple nodes of interaction and cross-regulations. Dysregulated lipid metabolism is one of the hallmarks of cancer. Targeting such lipid metabolism is a potential anticancer strategy. Several natural products and miRNAs have been reported to modulate cancer cell fatty acid (FA) metabolisms; however, the integrated connections between these natural products, miRNAs, and targets have yet to be evaluated in detail. This review uses the bioinformatic STRING tool to explore target-target interactions between Google Scholar-retrieval targets of dysregulated FA metabolism in cancer cells. miRNAs and natural products that dysregulate FA metabolism were also retrieved and connected to the STRING–target network with Google Scholar and the bioinformatic databases (miRTarBase and miRDB), which retrieves targets for miRNAs. Moreover, the knowledge gaps between miRNA- and natural product-modulated FA metabolism are intricately connected. Consequently, this review highlights and shows interactions within the natural product–miRNA–target axis in counteracting the dysregulated FA metabolism in cancer cells.
