Autophagy is a highly conserved catabolic pathway that is precisely regulated and plays a significant role in maintaining cellular metabolic balance and intracellular homeostasis. Abnormal autophagy is directly linked to the development of various diseases, particularly immune disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, and tumors. The precise regulation of proteins is crucial for proper cellular function, and post-translational modifications (PTMs) are key epigenetic mechanisms in the regulation of numerous biological processes.

ATPase family AAA domain-containing protein 2 (ATAD2) is significantly up-regulated in many cancer types and contributes to poor patient outcomes. ATAD2 exhibits a multidomain architecture comprising an N-terminal acidic domain, two AAA+ ATPase domains, a bromodomain, and a C-terminal domain. The AAA+ ATPase domain facilitates protein oligomerization and ATP binding, while the bromodomain recognizes acetylated lysine in histones and nonhistone proteins.

Lactate, once viewed as a byproduct of glycolysis and a metabolic "waste", is now recognized as an energy-providing substrate and a signaling molecule that modulates cellular functions under pathological conditions. The discovery of histone lactylation in 2019 marked a paradigm shift, with subsequent studies revealing that lactate can undergo lactylation with both histone and non-histone proteins, implicating it in the pathogenesis of various diseases, including cancer, liver fibrosis, sepsis, ischemic stroke, and acute kidney injury. Aberrant lactate metabolism is associated with disease onset, and its levels can predict disease outcomes.

Chromatin organization, which is under the control of histone deacetylases (HDACs), is frequently deregulated in cancer cells. Amongst HDACs, HDAC8 plays an oncogenic role in different neoplasias by acting on both histone and non-histone substrates. Promising anti-cancer strategies have exploited dual-targeting drugs that inhibit both HDAC8 and tubulin.

Histone lysine modifications were well-established epigenetic markers, with many types identified and extensively studied. The discovery of histone lysine lactylation had revealed a new form of epigenetic modification. The intensification of this modification was associated with glycolysis and elevated intracellular lactate levels, both of which were closely linked to cellular metabolism.
