Abstract B12: Analysis of Lipid Metabolism and Gene Expression in Hepatocellular Carcinoma Reveals Mitochondrial Function as a Potential Target for Combinatorial Treatment

Conclusion: These data point to the importance of lipid metabolic and mitochondrial oxidative dysfunction in the pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma. We anticipate combining the inhibition of oxidative phosphorylation with the standard of care treatment consisting of sorafenib to allow for a much lower and better tolerated dose of both drugs while maintaining anti-tumor efficacy.Citation Format: Ali Zarrinpar, Tiziana Palumbo, Dinesh Barupal.
