Overview of Gene Research
Acaca, also known as acetyl-CoA carboxylase 1, is a key rate-limiting enzyme in fatty acid synthesis. It catalyzes the carboxylation of acetyl-CoA to malonyl-CoA, which is crucial for de novo lipogenesis. This process is associated with various metabolic pathways and is of great biological importance in lipid metabolism [5]. Genetic models, such as gene knockout (KO) and conditional knockout (CKO) mouse models, are valuable for studying its functions.
In a fatty liver mouse model, inhibiting Acaca reduced intracellular lipid accumulation, improved mitochondrial function, and alleviated oxidative stress via the AMPK-PPARα-CPT1A axis [1]. In prostate cancer, ND630 controlled Acaca and lipid reprogramming by regulating the expression of circKIF18B_003, which increased Acaca expression by sponging miR-370-3p [2]. Down-regulation of Acaca in prostate cancer cells suppressed their malignant progression, reducing proliferation and mitochondrial potential [3]. In cervical cancer, circ-Acaca promoted cell proliferation, invasion, migration, and glycolysis by targeting the miR-582-5p/ERO1A signaling axis [4].
In conclusion, Acaca is essential for fatty acid synthesis and lipid metabolism. Model-based research, especially KO/CKO mouse models, has revealed its significant roles in diseases like non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and various cancers. Understanding Acaca's functions provides potential therapeutic targets for these diseases.
