Overview of Gene Research
Acaca, also known as acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, is a key enzyme controlling the rate of fatty acid synthesis. It plays a vital role in lipid metabolism and is involved in pathways such as the AMPK-PPARα-CPT1A axis, which is crucial for maintaining normal physiological functions related to lipid and mitochondrial metabolism [1].
In non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) research, a fatty liver mouse model was used. Inhibiting Acaca in vitro reduced intracellular lipid accumulation, improved mitochondrial dysfunction, and alleviated oxidative stress. This was achieved by mediating the AMPK-PPARα-CPT1A pathway [1].
In prostate cancer, ND630 can control Acaca and lipid reprogramming by regulating the expression of circKIF18B_003, suggesting a potential new target for treatment [2].
In patients with Acaca-related acetyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency, pathogenic variants in Acaca can lead to hypotonia, motor and intellectual developmental delay, and in one case, seizure [3].
In conclusion, Acaca is essential for lipid metabolism. Gene-knockout or related functional studies in mouse models have revealed its role in diseases like NAFLD and prostate cancer. Understanding Acaca's function provides insights into the mechanisms of these diseases and may offer new therapeutic directions.
