A systemic analysis of monocarboxylate transporters in ovarian cancer and possible therapeutic interventions
Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) play an immense role in metabolically active solid tumors by regulating concentration-dependent transport of different important monocarboxylates including pyruvate and lactate and are encoded by the SLC16A family of genes. Given the vast array of functions, these...

description | Monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs) play an immense role in metabolically active solid tumors by regulating concentration-dependent transport of different important monocarboxylates including pyruvate and lactate and are encoded by the SLC16A family of genes. Given the vast array of functions, these transporters play in oncogenesis, our objective was to look into the association of MCT1 (SLC16A1), MCT2 (SLC16A7), MCT3 (SLC16A8), and MCT4 (SLC16A3) with Epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) pathophysiology by exploiting various publicly available databases and web resources. Few of the in silico findings were confirmed via in vitro experiments in EOC cell lines, SKOV3 and OAW-42. MCT1 and MCT4 were found to be upregulated at the mRNA level in OC tissues compared to normal. However, only higher level of MCT4 mRNA was found to be associated with poor patient survival. MCT4 was positively correlated with gene families responsible for invasion, migration, and immune modification, proving it to be one of the most important MCTs for therapeutic intervention. We compared the effects of MCT1/2 blocker SR13800 and a broad-spectrum MCT blocker α-Cyano Hydroxy Cinnamic Acid (α-CHCA) and discovered that α-CHCA has a greater effect on diminishing the invasive behavior of the cancer cells than MCT1/2 blocker SR13800. From our study, MCT4 has emerged as a prospective marker for predicting poor patient outcomes and a potential therapeutic target. |
