Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase 1 (DGAT1) is a multifaced enzyme with a wide spectrum of substrates, from lipids through waxes to retinoids, which makes it an interesting therapeutic target. DGAT1 inhibitors are currently at various stages of preclinical and clinical trials, mostly related to metabolic diseases. Interestingly, in recent years, a growing amount of research has shown the influence of DGAT1 on immune cell metabolism and functions, highlighting its important role during infections and tumorigenesis.

In recent years, increasing studies have shown that the tumor microenvironment is crucial in promoting tumor progression and metastasis. Tumor-associated macrophages (TAM) are key components of the tumor immune microenvironment and promote both tumor growth and antitumor immunity.
