A cancerous web: signaling, metabolism, and the epigenome

Histone acetylation is sensitive to the availability of acetyl-CoA. However, the extent to which metabolic alterations in cancer cells impact tumor histone acetylation has been unclear. Here, we discuss our recent findings that oncogenic AKT1 activation regulates histone acetylation levels in tumors...

Sumario:Histone acetylation is sensitive to the availability of acetyl-CoA. However, the extent to which metabolic alterations in cancer cells impact tumor histone acetylation has been unclear. Here, we discuss our recent findings that oncogenic AKT1 activation regulates histone acetylation levels in tumors through regulation of acetyl-CoA metabolism.
