During moderate-intensity exercise, fatty acids are the predominant substrate for working skeletal muscle. The release of fatty acids from adipose tissue stores, combined with the ability of skeletal muscle to actively fine tune the gradient between fatty acid and carbohydrate metabolism, depending on substrate availability and energetic demands, requires a coordinated system of metabolic control. Over the past decade, since the discovery that AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) was increased in accordance with exercise intensity, there has been significant interest in the proposed role of this ancient stress-sensing kinase as a critical integrative switch controlling metabolic responses during exercise. In this review, studies examining the role of AMPK as a regulator of fatty acid metabolism in both adipose tissue and skeletal muscle during exercise will be discussed. Exercise induces activation of AMPK in adipocytes and regulates triglyceride hydrolysis and esterfication through phosphorylation of hormone sensitive lipase (HSL) and glycerol-3-phosphate acyl-transferase, respectively. In skeletal muscle, exercise-induced activation of AMPK is associated with increases in fatty acid uptake, phosphorylation of HSL, and increased fatty acid oxidation, which is thought to occur via the acetyl-CoA carboxylase-malony-CoA-CPT-1 signalling axis. Despite the importance of AMPK in regulating fatty acid metabolism under resting conditions, recent evidence from transgenic models of AMPK deficiency suggest that alternative signalling pathways may also be important for the control of fatty acid metabolism during exercise.

Abstract Introduction: Dysregulation of fatty acid metabolism often occurs in tumor, which mainly constitutes of fatty acid synthesis and oxidation. In recent years, studies found that fatty acid metabolism participated in regulation of tumor immune microenvironment, which further influenced the progress of cancer. Thus, it is important to explore the key fatty acid metabolism-related molecules, which not only affects the prognosis of ovarian cancer, but also shows a close correlation with immune microenvironment of cancer.Methods: Database from TCGA was used to explore the fatty acid metabolism-related molecules, which correlated with the prognosis of ovarian cancer using univariate and multivariate cox proportional regression model. Nomogram was constructed to predict the prognostic probability based on ACSM3 and clinicopathological parameters. GDSC database was used to investigate the chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cells. The correlation between ACSM3 and immune status of ovarian cancer was analyzed by TIMER and TISIDB online tools. In addition, CCK8 assay was used to investigate the chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cells, real time-PCR and western blot were used to investigate the expression of chemoresistance-related genes.Results: ACSM3 worked as an independent favorable prognostic molecule through univariate and multivariate cox regression analysis. For the use in clinical, nomogram was constructed, and higher expression of ACSM3 showed better prognosis. We found that ACSM3 could regulate PI3K/AKT signaling, and GDSC database showed that PI3K/AKT inhibitor could promote the chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cells. In addition, the expression of ACSM3 showed significantly correlated with the immune status of ovarian cancer. In vitro experiments showed that ACSM3 can promote the chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer cells by inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling pathway.Conclusion: Our results showed that ACSM3 acted as a favorable prognostic-related biomarker for ovarian cancer, which could promote chemosensitivity of ovarian cancer through inhibiting PI3K/AKT signaling pathway. This might be due to participate in regulating immune status of ovarian cancer microenvironment.
