This invention discloses the application of a branched-chain amino acid (BCAA) restricted diet in the preparation of drugs for treating liver metastases of tumors. Through mouse model experiments, this invention found that restricting the intake of BCAAs (valine, isoleucine, and leucine) in the diet, or using the SCD1 inhibitor A939572, can significantly inhibit liver metastases of tumors, especially pancreatic cancer liver metastases. Experimental results show that a BCAA restricted diet or SCD1 inhibitor can reduce the number and volume of liver metastases and inhibit their growth. This invention also reveals its mechanism of action: BCAA restriction reduces the propionylation modification of SREBP1, downregulates the transcriptional expression of its target gene SCD1, and thus reduces lipid synthesis, thereby exerting an anti-tumor liver metastasis effect. This invention provides a novel dietary intervention strategy and drug target for the treatment of liver metastases of tumors.
