ACSS2-mediated NF-κB activation promotes alkaliptosis in human pancreatic cancer cells
Alkaliptosis is a recently discovered type of pH-dependent cell death used for tumor therapy. However, its underlying molecular mechanisms and regulatory networks are largely unknown.

An Oncolytic Vaccinia Virus Expressing Aphrocallistes Vastus Lectin Modulates Hepatocellular Carcinoma Metabolism via ACSS2/TFEB-Mediated Autophagy and Lipid Accumulation [PDF]
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) remains a therapeutic challenge due to metabolic plasticity and drug resistance. Oncolytic viruses (OVs), such as thymidine kinase-deleted vaccinia virus (oncoVV), selectively lyse tumors while stimulating antitumor ...

ACSS2 and the metabolic‐epigenetic axis in Alzheimer’s disease [PDF]
AbstractBackgroundWe examine the contribution of the metabolic‐epigenetic regulatory axis1to protective histone acetylation in the brain, which is impaired in Alzheimer’s disease (AD). ACSS2 (acetyl‐CoA synthetase 2) is a key metabolic enzyme that is chromatin‐bound in neurons2.

ACSS2 mediates prenatal alcohol exposure-related morphological and behavioral phenotypes. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The metabolic enzyme Acetyl-CoA Synthetase 2 (ACSS2) recently emerged as an unexpected regulator of molecular and behavioral changes associated with alcohol use. Its role during prenatal exposure, however, remains unknown. Here, we use a combination of proteomic, genomic and behavioral approaches to establish ACSS2 as a key ...

HIV latency is reversed by ACSS2-driven histone crotonylation [PDF]
Eradication of HIV-1 (HIV) is hindered by stable viral reservoirs. Viral latency is epigenetically regulated. While the effects of histone acetylation and methylation at the HIV long-terminal repeat (LTR) have been described, our knowledge of the proviral epigenetic landscape is incomplete.

Activation of acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 mediates kidney injury in diabetic nephropathy
Albuminuria and podocyte injury are the key cellular events in the progression of diabetic nephropathy (DN). Acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a nucleocytosolic enzyme responsible for the regulation of metabolic homeostasis in mammalian cells.

ACSS2 Suppresses Ferroptosis to Drive Breast Cancer Brain Metastasis. [PDF]
Abstract Brain metastasis in breast cancer patients represents a terminal disease stage, with median survival typically measured in months. Tumors that colonize the brain must adapt to its unique microenvironment, such as high acetate levels. Primary brain tumor cells enhance acetate conversion to acetyl-CoA through phosphorylation of
