<sub>Metabolic</sub> shift to serine pathway induced by lipids confers oncogenic properties in non-transformed breast cells
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Abstract A lipid metabolism gene signature is associated with the risk of estrogen negative breast cancer (ER-BC). In vitro, lipid exposure alters histone methylation affecting gene expression and increasing flux through various metabolic reactions; but little is known about the mechanism(s) linking lipids and epigenetic reprogramming with the genesis of ER-BC. Here we show that the metabolism of the medium-chain fatty acid Octanoic Acid (OA) in preference to glucose and glutamine results in a metabolic shift toward the serine pathway increasing the production of SAM, glutathione, and 2-HG, with implications for oncogenesis: SAM production results in epigenetic fostered plasticity leading to reprogramming/selecting cells that express Neural, EMT and BC related genes. 2-HG exposure results in appearance of DNA breaks, potentially consequent to the inhibition of essential demethylases for HR repair. ROS increases shortly after OA exposure and is mitigated by antioxidant defenses, which favors/enables the survival of specific cell subtypes.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
