The Contribution of Cholesterol and Squalene Synthase in Cancer: Molecular Mechanisms, Lipid Rafts and Therapeutic Approaches

Medicinal Research Reviews, Volume 46, Issue 2, Page 352-381, March 2026.
ABSTRACT A plethora of cellular signaling pathways are dysregulated in cancer cells, promoting carcinogenesis and migration. Cholesterol has recently been linked to cancer by several subcellular mechanisms, especially by its involvement in the formation of lipid rafts, which promote oncogenic signaling and cancer cell invasion. Squalene synthase (SQS),

RPL6 Interacts with HMGCS1 to Stabilize HIF‐1α by Promoting Cholesterol Production in Hepatocellular Carcinoma

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 38, October 13, 2025.
The study found that RPL6 is frequently upregulated in HCC tissues with extrahepatic metastasis. Elevated RPL6 bound to and increased the stability of HMGCS1 mRNA, thereby enhancing intracellular cholesterol levels. Subsequently, increased cholesterol promotes cancer metastasis in HCC by stabilizing HIF‐1α protein.

UV‐A Radiation Impairs Sebaceous‐Gland‐Related Skin Barrier Function by Inducing Inflammation and Altering Intracellular Sebum‐Like Lipid Composition

Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, Volume 24, Issue 10, October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Sebaceous glands (SGs) secrete sebum to form a protective barrier that maintains skin health. However, exposure to ultraviolet A (UV‐A) radiation damages the skin barrier, leading to dryness and inflammation. Aims In this study, we investigated how UV‐A radiation alters SG function, focusing on inflammation and changes in the ...
