Abstract

Apolipoproteins (APOs), the primary protein moiety of lipoproteins, are known for their crucial role in lipid traffic and metabolism. Despite extensive exploration of APOs in cardiovascular diseases, their roles in cancers did not attract enough attention. Recently, research focusing on the roles of APOs in cancers has flourished. Multiple studies demonstrate the interaction of APOs with classical pathways of tumorigenesis. Besides, the dysregulation of APOs may indicate cancer occurrence and progression, thus serving as potential biomarkers for cancer patients. Herein, we summarize the mechanisms of APOs involved in the development of various cancers, their applications as cancer biomarkers and their genetic polymorphism associated with cancer risk. Additionally, we also discuss the potential anti-cancer therapies by virtue of APOs. The comprehensive review of APOs in cancers may advance the understanding of the roles of APOs in cancers and their potential mechanisms. We hope that it will provide novel clues and new therapeutic strategies for cancers.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The ApoE-lipoprotein complex has been shown to alter the lipid profile of cancer and noncancerous cells.

    “The ApoE-lipoprotein complex has been shown to alter the lipid profile of cancer and noncancerous cells (47–49).”

    From Secreted Apoe rewires melanoma cell state vulnerability to ferroptosis (2024) · cites this paper as [47]

    The Lung cancer section says ApoE transports lipids and cholesterol between cells, and the Breast cancer section links ApoE expression to possible changes in fatty-acid production and cholesterol entry in breast cancer cells. Neither passage establishes that an ApoE-lipoprotein complex alters the lipid profiles of both cancerous and noncancerous cells. Page numbers are unavailable in our copy. (LLM, conf=0.82)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
