Lactylation: From Molecular Insights to Disease Relevance

Biomolecules
Lactylation, referring to the covalent coupling of the lactyl group with lysine residues, is a recently defined post-translational modification. It has been demonstrated that lactylation can alter protein transcription, thereby affecting the transmission

Hypoxia‐Induced Histone Lactylation Promotes Ferroptosis in Cardiomyocytes via the Wnt/β‐Catenin Pathway

The Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of histone lactylation on ferroptosis in hypoxia‐induced cardiomyocytes. A hypoxia model was established in AC16 cells treated with 2‐Deoxy‐D‐glucose (2‐DG, a glucose analogue), ferrostatin‐1 (Fer‐1, a selective ferroptosis inhibitor), lactate (LA), sh‐β‐catenin (shRNA of β‐catenin), or SKL2001 (an agonist ...

Post-translational toxin modification by lactate controls Staphylococcus aureus virulence

Nature Communications
Diverse post-translational modifications have been shown to play important roles in regulating protein function in eukaryotes. By contrast, the roles of post-translational modifications in bacteria are not so well understood, particularly as they relate ...

Harnessing energy metabolism for enhanced bone defect repair: Mechanisms and therapeutic strategies

VIEW, EarlyView.
This review addresses the critical challenge of bone defect repair by focusing on the underexplored role of cellular energy metabolism. It synthesizes regulatory mechanisms in bone‐forming cells and sums up innovative strategies—leveraging cell derivatives, active factors, and biomimetic scaffolds—to modulate metabolism for enhanced regeneration.

Lactylation as a metabolic-epigenetic nexus in epilepsy: Mechanisms and therapeutic implications

Neurobiology of Disease
Lactylation is a novel post-translational modification (PTM) mediated by lactate, which dynamically regulates protein functions and gene expression by covalently attaching lactate groups to lysine residues. Recent studies have shown that abnormal lactate

OSA Initiates Histone Lactylation That Drives PDE4B/FUS/AGT Axis to Pulmonary Hypertension

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
This study illustrates how chronic intermittent hypoxia (CIH) in obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) leads to hypertension via increased oxidative stress and mitochondrial dysfunction in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), causing glycolytic dysregulation. Lactate accumulation enhances histone lactylation, upregulating phosphodiesterase 4B (PDE4B),

Mechanistic Insights Into Recurrent Implantation Failure: The Lactate–H3K18la–SLC7A11 Axis Explored via Endometrial Organoid and Blastoid–Endometrial Cell Implantation Models

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
Clinical samples first revealed impaired lactate synthesis in RIF patients. Subsequently, using endometrial organoids and a blastoid‐endometrial cell implantation model, we demonstrated that lactate enhances endometrial receptivity via H3K18la‐mediated SLC7A11 activation.

Hypoxia and the cytoskeleton

The Journal of Physiology, EarlyView.
Abstract figure legend Schematic outlining the activation of hypoxia‐sensitive pathways, the influence of hypoxia and associated pathways on the cytoskeleton, and the impact of these on disease progression. Abstract A highly‐regulated and dynamic cytoskeleton is vital for functional cellular physiology and the maintenance of homeostasis.

Regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex: Dancing to different drums in cancer

International Journal of Cancer, Volume 158, Issue 6, Page 1464-1480, 15 March 2026.
Abstract Mechanisms governing the regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) are markedly modified in cancer cells compared to normal cells. PDC activity in normal cells is controlled by the reversible phosphorylation of three serine residues by dedicated kinases and phosphatases.

RHOA lactylation at oncogenic hotspots promotes oncogenic activity and protein stabilization

Molecular Cancer
Background Aberrant RHOA activation drives tumor progression, yet regulatory mechanisms beyond genetic mutations remain poorly defined. Lactylation, a lactate-derived post-translational modification, links metabolic reprogramming to oncogenesis, but its ...
