Abstract

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. Histone lactylation plays a crucial role in multiple cellular homeostasis, including immune regulation and cancer progression, thereby significantly influencing cell fate. Lactylation can modify both histone and non-histone proteins. This paper provided a comprehensive review of the typical epigenetic effects and lactylation on classical transcription-related lysine sites and summarized the known enzymes involved in histone lactylation and delactylation. Additionally, some discoveries of histone lactylation in tumor biology were also discussed, and some prospects for this field were put forward.
