摘要 | High levels of acetyl-CoA are considered a key metabolic feature of metastatic cancers. However, the impacts of acetyl-CoA metabolic accumulation on cancer microenvironment remodeling are poorly understood. In this study, using human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and orthotopic xenograft models, we found a close association between high acetyl-CoA levels in HCCs, increased infiltration of tumor-associated neutrophils (TANs) in the cancer microenvironment and HCC metastasis. Cytokine microarray and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) revealed the crucial role of the chemokine (C-X-C motif) ligand 1(CXCL1). Mechanistically, acetyl-CoA accumulation induces H3 acetylation-dependent upregulation of CXCL1 gene expression. CXCL1 recruits TANs, leads to neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) formation and promotes HCC metastasis. Collectively, our work linked the accumulation of acetyl-CoA in HCC cells and TANs infiltration, and revealed that the CXCL1-CXC receptor 2 (CXCR2)-TANs-NETs axis is a potential target for HCCs with high acetyl-CoA levels. |
