Abstract
Fatty acids are essential biomolecules that support several cellular processes, such as membrane structures, energy storage and production, as well as signal transduction. Accordingly, changes in fatty acid metabolism can have a significant impact on cell behavior, such as growth, survival, proliferation, differentiation, and motility. Therefore, it is not surprising that many aspects of fatty acid metabolism are frequently dysregulated in human cancer, including in highly aggressive blood cancers such as acute leukemia. The aims of this review are to summarize the aspects of fatty acid metabolism that are specifically coopted in acute leukemia as well as current preclinical strategies for targeting fatty acid metabolism in these cancers.
