Background: Lactate is an important metabolite derived from glycolysis under physiological and pathological conditions. The Warburg effect reveals the vital role of lactate in cancer progression. Numerous studies have reported crucial roles for lactate in cancer progression and cell fate determination. Lactylation, a novel posttranslational modification (PTM), has provided a new opportunity to investigate metabolic epigenetic regulation, and studies of this process have been initiated in a wide range of cancer cells, cancer-associated immune cells, and embryonic stem cells.
Conclusion: Lactylation is a novel and interesting mechanism of lactate metabolism linked to metabolic rewiring and epigenetic remodeling. It is a potential and hopeful target for cancer therapy. Here, we summarize the discovery of lactylation, the mechanisms of site modification, and progress in research on nonhistone lactylation. We focus on the potential roles of lactylation in cancer progression and cell fate determination and the possible therapeutic strategies for targeting lysine lactylation. Finally, we suggest some future research topics on lactylation to inspire some interesting ideas.

In women globally, breast cancer ranks as the second most frequent cause of cancer-related deaths, making up about 25% of female cancer cases, which is pretty standard in affluent countries. Breast cancer is divided into subtypes based on aggressive, genetic and stage. The precise cause of the problem is still unknown.

Dysregulated lipid metabolism within the tumor microenvironment (TME) is a critical hallmark of cancer progression, with lipids serving as a major energy source for tumor cells. Beyond their role in cell membrane synthesis, lipids also provide essential substrates for biomolecule production and activate signaling pathways that regulate various cellular processes. Aberrant lipid metabolism impacts not only function but also alters the behavior of immune and stromal cells within the TME.

The most severe form of α-thalassemia results from loss of all four copies of α-globin. Postnatally, patients face challenges similar to β-thalassemia, including severe anemia and erythrotoxicity due to the imbalance of β-globin and α-globin chains. Despite progress in genome editing treatments for β-thalassemia, there is no analogous curative option for α-thalassemia.
