Background: Altered acetyl CoA acetyltransferase 1 (ACAT1) expression has been reported in diverse cancers. However, the expression of ACAT1 and its prognostic value in oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) has remained unexplored. Materials and methods: In this study, the expression of ACAT1 was analysed by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in 61 OSCC patients and compared between OSCC and adjacent pre-tumour tissue of 21 patients. Results: The expression of ACAT1 in OSCC tumours is heterogeneous between patients. More specifically, 52.38% of the patients show low expression of ACAT1 in both tumour and adjacent pre-tumour tissues, 9.52% of the patients show high expression of …
