Article Abstract
Background: Lactate has a beneficial effect on adult neurogenesis and has been identified as a mediator of lactylation of proteins. However, the regulatory role and function of histone lactylation in neurogenesis remain poorly understood. This study aimed to elucidate the relationship between lactate and the fate of neural stem cells (NSCs), and explore the role of histone lactylation in neurogenesis.
Methods: Under hypoxic conditions, NSCs were treated with lactate to investigate its effects on cell fate. Western blot and immunofluorescence staining were performed to detect histone lactylation modifications. RNA-sequencing (RNA-seq) was used to characterize the transcriptome after lactate treatment, in conjunction with Chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-seq), to identify potential target genes for histone lactylation.
Results: Under hypoxic conditions, L-lactate promotes neurogenesis and induces H3K9 histone lactylation (H3K9la). The inhibition of L-lactate uptake or production hinders neuronal development and is accompanied by decreased H3K9la. And the inhibition of H3K9la inhibits the differentiation of NSCs into neurons. Furthermore, H3K9la was enriched in the SnoN (also known as Skil) promoter region, and siRNA targeting SnoN inhibits the generation of Doublecortin (DCX) neurons.
Conclusion: L-lactate promotes neurogenesis through H3K9la/SnoN axis under hypoxic environments and SnoN potentially serves as a novel target for enhancing neurological recovery in cerebral ischemia.

Background: Emerging evidence indicates that lactase-mediated histone lactylation can activate osteogenic gene expression and promote bone formation. However, the role of lactylation-related genes (LRGs) in osteoporosis (OP) remains unclear. This study aims to clarify the key roles of LRGs and the molecular mechanisms of related biomarkers in OP.

In oxaliplatin-resistant gastric cancer (GC), multi-omics profiling combined with organoid libraries reveals altered metabolic pathways associated with chemoresistance. We identify a novel lactylation modification at K115 of Poly(RC)-binding protein 2 (PCBP2K115la), which confers functional oxaliplatin resistance. Mechanistic studies demonstrate that the long non-coding RNA BASP1-AS1 assembles a complex containing Unc-51 Like Autophagy Activating Kinase 1 (ULK1) and lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), thereby activating LDHA enzymatic activity to increase lactate production.

Lung cancer is a common malignancy that poses risks to human health and quality of life. The primary treatment options currently available include surgery, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. However, the aggressive metastatic nature of the disease combined with the development of drug and radiation resistance results in suboptimal survival outcomes.

Lactate, as an end-product of glycolysis, has been considered as a metabolic waste that participates in a few physiological functions. Recently, a novel study by Zhao's laboratory reported that lactate can serve as an epigenetic modification substrate, causing histone or nonhistone lysine residues to undergo lactylation, which then regulates gene transcription, translation, and protein function. Subsequent studies confirmed that lactylation plays an important role in a series of physiological and pathological processes, such as inflammation, cancer, and other biological processes.

Glioblastoma (GBM) stands as one of the most formidable and deadly brain cancers, with temozolomide (TMZ) established as the primary chemotherapeutic agent. However, over 50 % of patients showed innate or acquired resistance. Sirtuins, a family of NAD-dependent deacetylases, have gained recognition as key regulators in shaping epigenetic landscapes and influencing chemoresistance across various cancers, yet their specific contribution to TMZ resistance in GBM has remained largely unexplored.
