Selective Inhibition of L-type Amino Acid Transporter 1 Suppresses Cell Proliferation in Ovarian Clear Cell Carcinoma
Ovarian clear cell carcinoma (OCCC) is a histological type of ovarian cancer that is refractory to chemotherapy and has poor prognosis, which necessitates the development of novel treatment therapies. In this study, we focused on L-type amino acid transporter 1 (LAT1), which is involved in cancer growth, and investigated the effect of its selective inhibition on cell proliferation in OCCC. The inhibitory effect of nanvuranlat (JPH203), a LAT1 selective inhibitor, on the cellular uptake of [ Nanvuranlat inhibited [ LAT1 selective inhibition suppresses cell proliferation via the mTOR pathway by inhibiting leucine uptake in OCCC. This study illustrates the potential of using LAT1 selective inhibition as a treatment strategy for OCCC.
