Fig. 6. HFD feeding and palmitic acid increase CRC growth in β2AR-dependent manner.

Fig. 6

A diagram illustrating how HFD increases CRC growth. HFD feeding increases palmitic acid level in CRC. Palmitic acid increases the β2AR expression in CRC cells in a Sp-1 dependent manner. Upon activation of the β2AR, cAMP/PKA axis is activated, which increases the phosphorylation of HSL at S552. The phosphorylated HSL (S552) mediates changes of the metabolic phenotypes and increases energy production in CRC, which promotes CRC growth
