Investigating the Role of Acetyl-CoA Synthetase Short Chain Family Member 2 (ACSS2) in Inflammatory Bowel Disease: Expression in Clinical Samples and Insights from In Vitro Models by Mezher, Nawal

“…ACSS2 inhibition significantly reduced the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as Interleukin 8 (IL-8), IL-1β, and TNF-α, and attenuated activation of NF-κB and MAPK signaling pathways, as evidenced by decreased phosphorylation of p65 and ERK/MEK. These findings highlight a pro-inflammatory role for ACSS2 in IBD and identify it as a potential therapeutic target, warranting further validation in advanced models, including patient-derived organoids and in vivo systems.…”
