Inhibitor of the flavin-containing monooxygenase (FMO) for use in the treatment of cancer

The present invention relates to a treatment of cancer. Here, the inventors discovered that flavin-containing monooxygenase 4 (FM04) expression was increased in lung tumor samples compared with lung healthy tissue. They found that this phenotype was a common feature in lung adenocarcinoma promoted also by translocation of EML4 / ALK as well as by oncogenic KRAS or EGFR using dedicated mouse models. Moreover, FMO4 was strongly increased in human lung tumors compared with healthy lung tissue, and FMO4 expression was inversely correlated with overall survival in patients with lung adenocarcinoma. Importantly, FMO4 protected lung cancer cells against reactive oxidative species-induced apoptosis. Finally, FMO4 loss of function decreased oncogenic KRAS-induced human bronchoalveolar cells transformation in vitro and in vivo. Thus, the present invention relates to an FMO inhibitor for use in the treatment of cancer in a subject in need thereof.
