摘要

The cytochrome P450 enzyme CYP4F11, a pivotal regulator of fatty acid metabolism and drug metabolism, exhibits significantly overexpression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and is associated with poor clinical outcomes. Through integrated analysis of TCGA/GEO datasets and immunohistochemistry validation of 235 NSCLC specimens, we established CYP4F11 as a novel prognostic biomarker. Functional studies demonstrated that CYP4F11 knockdown markedly impaired NSCLC cell proliferation, clonogenicity, and migration in vitro, moreover xenograft models confirmed its tumor-promoting role in vivo. Mechanistically, we identified CYP4F11 as a direct target of tumor suppressor miR-195 via 3′-UTR binding, with miR-195-mediated suppression of CYP4F11 leading to ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation of mitochondrial malic enzyme 2 (ME2) — a critical metabolic regulator in cancer cells. Metabolomic analyses revealed that CYP4F11 depletion disrupts mitochondrial malate metabolism, while rescue experiments confirmed ME2’s pivotal role in mediating CYP4F11’s oncogenic effects. Our findings elucidate the CYP4F11/miR-195/ME2 regulatory axis as a crucial determinant of NSCLC progression, highlighting CYP4F11 as both a prognostic indicator and a potential therapeutic target through modulation of cancer cell metabolism.
