Fasting upregulates the level of FDFT1, which is correlated with prognosis in CRC.a The expression of FDFT1 was increased significantly in the fasting group compared with that in the control group in the GSE60653 data set (n = 3). b The relative expression of FDFT1 was also increased greatly in the fasting group compared with that in the control group by iTRAQ (n = 3; P = 0.0319). c The mRNA expression of FDFT1 in dissected tumor tissue from the fasting mimic group and the control group was measured by qRT-PCR (n = 15; P < 0.0001). d, e Fasting mimic medium also increased the protein level of FDFT1 in CT26 and SW620 cells. f Representative graph of the IHC analysis carried out in human CRC and noncancerous tissues (n = 23; upper : scale bar is 200 µm; lower : scale bar is 100 µm). g The expression of FDFT1 was downregulated in most of the tumor tissues (19/23), but was upregulated in most of the adjacent noncancerous tissues (18/23) (n = 23; P = 0.0004). h The relative expression levels of FDFT1 mRNA in CRC tissues and matched adjacent noncancerous tissues were determined by qRT-PCR (n = 81; both P < 0.0001). i Kaplan–Meier analysis of the overall survival of patients with CRC in the FUSCC cohort according to FDFT1 expression. The median expression level was used as the cutoff. High FDFT1 expression predicted better prognoses for CRC patients in the FUSCC cohort. (high FDFT1 patients = 39, low FDFT1 patients = 42; P = 0.0238, log-rank test) j, k The expression of the FDFT1 gene was significantly lower in CRC tissues than in normal tissues in the GDS2609 and GDS4382 data sets (P < 0.0001; P = 0.0049). l Analysis of the correlation of FDFT1 expression with TNM stage in CRC patients. Lower FDFT1 expression was correlated with higher TNM stage (P = 1.91 x 10−5). m Survival analysis of FDFT1 data from the TCGA database stratified by FDFT1 expression. High FDFT1 expression indicated a better prognosis. (P = 0.018, log-rank test). Error bars, mean ± SD, the data are from three independent experiments. Two-sided t tests.

FDFT1 is a downstream target of fasting in suppressing CRC proliferation.aFDFT1 overexpression and fasting for 48 h inhibited CT26 cell proliferation as measured by a CCK8 assay. Compared with either treatment alone, FDFT1 overexpression combined with fasting for 48 h had the most obvious inhibitory effect on CT26 cell proliferation (from left to right : P = 0.0021; P = 0.0005; P = 0.0003). b Western blotting indicated that fasting 48 h and FDFT1 overexpression increased the protein level of FDFT1 in CRC cells. Fasting exerted an additive effect on FDFT1 expression level in cells overexpressing FDFT1 in the suppression of CRC cell proliferation. c, d Photograph of dissected tumors (first line : CT26 cells + normal diet; second line : CT26 cells + FMD; third line : FDFT1-overexpressing CT26 cells + normal diet; fourth line : FDFT1-overexpressing CT26 cells + FMD; n = 4; both P < 0.0001). Both the FMD and FDFT1 overexpression inhibited tumor growth in the mice. The FMD combined with the implantation of FDFT1-overexpressing CT26 cells had the most obvious inhibitory effect on tumor growth in the mice. e Representative 18F-FDG microPET/CT imaging of tumor-bearing mice. f The ratio of the tumor SUVmax in the four groups. The SUVmax was decreased most significantly in the FDFT1-overexpressing CT26 cells + FMD group (n = 3; from left to right : P = 0.0018; P = 0.0018; P = 0.0003). g The protein expression of FDFT1 in dissected tumor samples was evaluated by IHC. Scale bar : 100 µm. h Graph shows the quantitative analysis of FDFT1 staining (n = 3). i The effect of FDFT1 knockdown, fasting 48 h and FDFT1 knockdown combined with fasting 48 h on CT26 cell proliferation was evaluated by CCK8 (upper : P = 0.005; lower : P = 0.0045). j, k Photograph of dissected tumors (first line : CT26 cells + normal diet; second line : CT26 cells + FMD; third line : shFDFT1 CT26 cells + normal diet; fourth line : shFDFT1 CT26 cells + FMD; n = 4; P = 0.0006; P = 0.0002; P = 0.0003). The FMD inhibited tumor growth in mice. FDFT1 knockdown promoted tumor growth in mice. The FMD combined with shFDFT1 CT26 cells did not inhibit tumor growth in the mice. Error bars, mean ± SD, the data are from three independent experiments.

Fasting and mTOR inhibitor synergize in suppressing CRC proliferation and clinical significance of the FDFT1/AKT-mTOR-HIF1α pathway in CRC patients.a CT26 cells were injected into BALB/c mice. When the tumors were palpable, the mice were randomly assigned to the normal diet group, FMD group, the rapamycin 1 mg/kg group and FMD + rapamycin 1 mg/kg group. Photograph of dissected tumors (the first line : normal diet, the second line : FMD, the third line : rapamycin 1 mg/kg, the fourth line : FMD + rapamycin 1 mg/kg, n = 5). b The tumor volumes were measured every 3 days after the 9th day (n = 30; ***P = 0.0008, P = 0.0003; #P = 0.0133). On day 9 after inoculation, all the tumor were palpable. c Kaplan–Meier analysis of the overall survival of mice after the inoculation in normal diet group, FMD group, normal diet mice treated with rapamycin 1 mg/kg group and FMD + rapamycin 1 mg/kg group (n = 30; log-rank score : P = 0.0049 for FMD group, P = 0.0058 for rapamycin 1 mg/kg group; P = 0.00069 for FMD + rapamycin 1 mg/kg group.) d, e The expression level of FDFT1 in four groups was evaluated by western blotting and qRT-PCR (**P = 0.0025, P = 0.0097; ***P = 0.0008; #P = 0.0133, P = 0.0351). f–j Survival analysis stratified by combining FDFT1 levels with AKT1, mTOR, HIF1α, GLUT1, and HK2 levels from CRC patients in the TCGA cohort. k Proposed model of the mechanism underlying the fasting-mediated regulation of glucose metabolism via the FDFT1/AKT-mTOR-HIF1α axis in colorectal cancer. Fasting upregulates the expression of FDFT1 during the inhibition of colorectal cancer cell aerobic glycolysis and proliferation. FDFT1, whose downregulation is correlated with malignant progression and poor prognosis in CRC, acts as a critical tumor suppressor in CRC. We then observed that FDFT1 is an important downstream target of fasting that mediates the inhibition of CRC cell proliferation. Mechanistically, FDFT1 inhibits the AKT-mTOR-HIF1α pathway, impairing aerobic glycolysis, and thereby suppressing the proliferation of CRC cells. There is also a reverse regulation of FDFT1 by mTOR. Error bars, mean ± SD, the data are from three independent experiments. Two-sided t tests. Kaplan–Meier analysis and log-rank tests were used in panel c. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01, ***P < 0.001, compared with normal diet group. #P < 0.05, ##P < 0.01.

FDFT1 also known as squalene synthase catalyzes the first committed step in cholesterol biosynthesis. This enzyme functions as a dimer and has a molecular weight of approximately 47 kDa. FDFT1 is widely expressed in the liver where cholesterol synthesis primarily occurs but you can also find it present in many tissues throughout the body. As a membrane-bound protein it anchors to the endoplasmic reticulum where it carries out its enzymatic role.
Biological function summary

FDFT1 facilitates the conversion of farnesyl diphosphate to squalene a critical precursor in sterol and cholesterol synthesis. This enzyme does not work in isolation but acts as a part of the larger sterol biosynthesis pathway. The activity of FDFT1 aligns with key metabolic demands particularly in tissues with high rates of cell division or hormone production making it essential for maintaining cellular sterol homeostasis.

Pathways

FDFT1 is an important enzyme in the mevalonate pathway and cholesterol biosynthesis pathway. This enzyme interacts closely with proteins such as HMG-CoA reductase and lanosterol synthase which are pivotal in these pathways. This relationship ensures the proper flow from acetyl-CoA to cholesterol and other isoprenoids critical for cell membrane integrity and signaling functions.

Disruptions in FDFT1 activity can lead to conditions like hypercholesterolemia and related cardiovascular diseases. Excess or deficiency in its function impacts cholesterol levels directly making it a target for cholesterol-lowering therapies. FDFT1's activity also connects to the proteins NPC1 and LDL receptor which play a role in cholesterol transport and uptake further linking it to pathways that contribute to atherosclerosis when dysregulated.

Target data

Catalyzes the condensation of 2 farnesyl pyrophosphate (FPP) moieties to form squalene. Proceeds in two distinct steps. In the first half-reaction, two molecules of FPP react to form the stable presqualene diphosphate intermediate (PSQPP), with concomitant release of a proton and a molecule of inorganic diphosphate. In the second half-reaction, PSQPP undergoes heterolysis, isomerization, and reduction with NADPH or NADH to form squalene. It is the first committed enzyme of the sterol biosynthesis pathway.
