High-intensity interval training induces lactylation of fatty acid synthase to inhibit lipid synthesis

Lactate-induced lactylation and cardiometabolic diseases: From epigenetic regulation to therapeutics

Cardiometabolic diseases (CMDs) denote a cadre of chronic and devastating cardiovascular anomalies routed from metabolic derangements including obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, and hypertension. Recent studies have demonstrated the association between histone lactylation, a unique form of post-translational modification, and pathogenesis of CMDs, apparently through epigenetic mechanisms. Lactylation has been indicated to regulate key aspects of metabolism, inflammation, and cardiovascular function in the realm of CMDs in a cellular and tissue-specific manner. A better understanding of the molecular, cellular and physiological domains of lactylation in the etiology of CMDs is expected to offer new insights into etiopathogenesis, hazardous factor control and therapeutic development for these challenging ailments.

Lactylation Modification in Cardiometabolic Disorders: Function and Mechanism

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is recognized as the primary cause of mortality and morbidity on a global scale, and developing a clear treatment is an important tool for improving it. Cardiometabolic disorder (CMD) is a syndrome resulting from the combination of cardiovascular, endocrine, pro-thrombotic, and inflammatory health hazards. Due to their complex pathological mechanisms, there is a lack of effective diagnostic and treatment methods for cardiac metabolic disorders. Lactylation is a type of post-translational modification (PTM) that plays a regulatory role in various cellular physiological processes by inducing changes in the spatial conformation of proteins. Numerous studies have reported that lactylation modification plays a crucial role in post-translational modifications and is closely related to cardiac metabolic diseases. This article discusses the molecular biology of lactylation modifications and outlines the roles and mechanisms of lactylation modifications in cardiometabolic disorders, offering valuable insights for the diagnosis and treatment of such conditions.
