Article Abstract

Acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 5 (ACSL5), is a member of the acyl-CoA synthetases (ACSs) family that activates long chain fatty acids by catalyzing the synthesis of fatty acyl-CoAs. The dysregulation of ACSL5 has been reported in some cancers, such as glioma and colon cancers. However, little is known about the role of ACSL5 in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). We found that the expression of ACSL5 was higher in bone marrow cells from AML patients compared with that from healthy donors. ACSL5 level could serve as an independent prognostic predictor of the overall survival of AML patients. In AML cells, the ACSL5 knockdown inhibited cell growth both in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, the knockdown of ACSL5 suppressed the activation of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway by suppressing the palmitoylation modification of Wnt3a. Additionally, triacsin c, a pan-ACS family inhibitor, inhibited cell growth and robustly induced cell apoptosis when combined with ABT-199, the FDA approved BCL-2 inhibitor for AML therapy. Our results indicate that ACSL5 is a potential prognosis marker for AML and a promising pharmacological target for the treatment of molecularly stratified AML.

SOX2 drives esophageal squamous carcinoma by reprogramming lipid metabolism and histone acetylation landscape.

Nat Commun

SOX2 is a potent oncodriver for various squamous cancers, but the underlying mechanism is largely unknown. Here we uncover a role of SOX2 in promoting global histone acetylation in esophageal squamous cancer cells (ESCCs). Mechanistic studies reveal that SOX2 promotes global histone acetylation in an AKT-independent manner, and does so by promoting histone acetylation at both SOX2 binding and non-SOX2 binding sites, and accounts for the formation of about half of the super-enhancers.

Role of Long Chain Acyl-CoA Synthetases in MASH-driven Hepatocellular Carcinoma and Ferroptosis.

Am J Physiol Gastrointest Liver Physiol

Metabolic-associated steatohepatitis-driven hepatocellular carcinoma (MASH-HCC) incidence is rapidly rising worldwide. Lipid metabolic reprogramming is a hallmark of solid tumors to satisfy cancer high metabolic demand. However, it may confer sensitivity to ferroptosis, a cell death mode driven by iron-dependent lipid peroxidation.

Identification of genes and lncRNAs for intramuscular and subcutaneous fat deposition in ducks by transcriptome analysis.

Anim Biosci

August 2025

Laboratory of Animal Genetics and Breeding and Molecular Design of Jiangsu Province, College of Animal Science and Technology, No. 567, Wenchang Middle Road, Ganquan Street, Yangzhou City, Jiangsu 225009, P. R. China., Yangzhou, China.

The purpose of this study was to identify key lncRNAs and mRNAs involved in fat deposition of meat ducks based on whole transcriptome sequencing for intramuscular preadipocyte (IMP-0), intramuscular adipocyte after 4 days of induction (IMP-4), subcutaneous preadipocyte (SCP-0), and subcutaneous adipocyte after 4 days of induction (SCP-4). We found 1419 and 697 differentially expressed genes and lncRNAs in the IMP-0-vs-IMP-4 group, respectively. There were 2307 and 1180 differentially expressed genes and differential lncRNAs, respectively, in the SCP-0-vs-SCP-4 group.

Fatty liver is a major metabolic disease in periparturient dairy goats. Protein ubiquitination, a type of dynamic and multifaceted post-translational modification, plays an important role in metabolism by regulating the stability and function of target proteins. However, the hepatic protein ubiquitination profile in dairy goats with fatty liver is yet to be elucidated.

Vitamin D plays a multifaceted role in the body, influencing a wide range of physiological processes. While its benefits in deficiency states are well recognized, the effects of high-dose vitamin D₃ supplementation in vitamin D-sufficient individuals remain poorly understood. In this study, we applied an integrative transcriptomic and proteomic approach to assess the dose-dependent effects of long-term dietary vitamin D₃ supplementation (5000 and 10,000 IU/kg feed) in healthy pigs.
