ATP Citrate Lyase is a General Tumour Biomarker and Contributes to the Development of Cutaneous Squamous Cell Carcinoma

ATP citrate lyase, the first rate-limiting enzyme in de novo lipogenesis, plays a crucial role in tumour progression. This study explores ATP citrate lyase's potential as a tumour biomarker and its role in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. ATP citrate lyase expression patterns were analysed using TCGA and TIMER databases, and patient skin specimens were collected for immunohistochemistry to determine ATP citrate lyase levels. Cell proliferation, cell cycle, apoptosis, and c-Myc expression were assessed in A431 and SCL-1 cells. Stable cell lines with reduced ATP citrate lyase expression were obtained and subcutaneously implanted into nude mice to evaluate in vivo tumour growth. Ki67, c-Myc expression and TUNEL staining were analysed in subcutaneous tumours. ATP citrate lyase exhibited upregulation in various tumours, and showed significant associations with prognosis and immune infiltrate. Moreover, ATP citrate lyase was highly expressed in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma. After ATP citrate lyase silencing, cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma cell growth decelerated, the cell cycle halted, cell apoptosis increased, and c-Myc expression decreased. Animal experiments revealed that, following ATP citrate lyase knockdown, tumour tissue growth slowed down, and there was a reduction in Ki-67 and c-Myc expression, accompanied by enhanced TUNEL staining. In conclusion, ATP citrate lyase may serve as a tumour biomarker. It is highly expressed in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma and may serve as a therapeutic target.
