ABSTRACT
Purpose The de novo lipogenesis has been a longstanding observation in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). However, the prognostic value and carcinogenic roles of the enzyme Acetyl-CoA carboxylase alpha (ACACA) in HCC remains unknown. Methods The proteins with remarkable prognostic significance were screened out from The Cancer Proteome Atlas Portal (TCPA) database. Furthermore, the expression characteristics and prognostic value of ACACA were evaluated in multiple databases and the local HCC cohort. The loss-of-function assays were performed to uncover the potential roles of ACACA in steering malignant behaviors of HCC cells. The underlying mechanisms were conjectured by bioinformatics and validated in HCC cell lines. Results ACACA was identified as a crucial factor of HCC prognosis. Bioinformatics analyses showed that HCC patients with higher expression of ACACA protein or mRNA levels had poor prognosis. Knockdown of ACACA remarkably crippled the proliferation, colony formation, migration, invasion, epithelial−mesenchymal transition (EMT) process of HCC cells and induced the cell cycle arrest. Mechanistically, ACACA might facilitate the malignant phenotypes of HCC through aberrant activation of Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway. In addition, ACACA expression was associated with the dilute infiltration of immune cells including plasmacytoid DC (pDC) and cytotoxic cells by utilization of relevant database analysis. Conclusion ACACA could be a potential biomarker and molecular target for HCC (AU)
