Mechanisms of metabolic flexibility enable cells to survive under stressful conditions and can thwart therapeutic responses. Acetyl-CoA plays central roles in energy production, lipid metabolism, and epigenomic modifications. Here we show that upon genetic deletion of Acly, the gene coding for ATP-citrate lyase (ACLY), cells remain viable and proliferate, although at an impaired rate. In the absence of ACLY, cells upregulate ACSS2 and utilize exogenous acetate to provide acetyl-CoA for de novo lipogenesis (DNL) and histone acetylation. A physiological level of acetate is sufficient for cell viability and abundant acetyl-CoA production, although histone acetylation levels remain low in ACLY-deficient cells unless supplemented with high levels of acetate. ACLY-deficient adipocytes accumulate lipid in vivo, exhibit increased acetyl-CoA and malonyl-CoA production from acetate, and display some differences in fatty acid content and synthesis. Together, these data indicate that engagement of acetate metabolism is a crucial, although partial, mechanism of compensation for ACLY deficiency. Zhao et al. demonstrate that ACLY deficiency causes upregulation of ACSS2 in proliferating cells in vitro and adipocytes in vivo. Acetate is needed for viability and is used for lipid synthesis and histone acetylation in the absence of ACLY. Proliferation is constrained in ACLY-deficient cells despite ACSS2 compensation.
