5.6.2.2 DNA topoisomerase (ATP-hydrolysing) C127I cell - 716400 6.2.1.1 acetate-CoA ligase C127I cell cells express higher levels of cytosolic acetyl-CoA synthetase ACSS2 under hypoxia than normoxia. Knockdown of ACSS2 by RNA interference in tumor cells enhances tumor cell death under long-term hypoxia in vitro. The ACSS2 suppression slows tumor growth in vivo. Tumor cells excrete acetate and the quantity increases under hypoxia, the pattern of acetate excretion follows the expression pattern of ACSS2. The ACSS2 knockdown leads to a corresponding reduction in the acetate excretion in tumor cells 703038
