Acetate functions as an epigenetic metabolite to promote lipid synthesis under hypoxia

Acetate functions as an epigenetic metabolite to promote lipid synthesis under hypoxia

Cancer cells under stress use acetate to maintain the acetyl-CoA pool and fuel lipid biosynthesis. Here, the authors show that acetate also promotes de novo lipid synthesis by increasing histone acetylation at the promoters of lipogenic enzymes ACACA and FASN, thus inducing their expression.
