Abstract Heightened lactate production in cancer cells has been linked to various cellular mechanisms such as angiogenesis, hypoxia, macrophage polarisation and T‐cell dysfunction. The lactate‐induced lactylation of histone lysine residues is noteworthy, it functions an epigenetic modification that directly augments gene transcription from chromatin. This originating effectively fosters a reliance on transcription, thereby expediting tumour progression development. Herein, this review explores the correlation between characteristics, revealing innovative process enhances vulnerability malignancy. Moreover, imperative acknowledge paramount importance acknowledging therapeutic methodologies for proficiently managing by precisely targeting signalling. comprehensive illuminates crucial yet inadequately investigated aspect lactylation, providing valuable insights into its clinical ramifications prospective interventions centred lactylation.

Abstract KRAS is one of the most mutated genes, driving alternations in metabolic pathways that include enhanced nutrient uptaking, increased glycolysis, elevated glutaminolysis, and heightened synthesis fatty acids nucleotides. However, beyond mechanisms KRAS-modulated cancer metabolisms remain incompletely understood. In this review, we aim to summarize current knowledge on KRAS-related alterations cells explore prevalence significance mutation shaping tumor microenvironment influencing epigenetic modification via various molecular activities. Given rely these changes sustain cell growth survival, targeting processes may represent a promising therapeutic strategy for KRAS-driven cancers.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) relies heavily on glutamine (Gln) utilization to meet its metabolic and biosynthetic needs. How epigenetic regulators contribute the flexibility PDAC's response adaptation Gln scarcity in tumor milieu remains largely unknown. Here, we elucidate that prolonged restriction or treatment with antagonist, 6-diazo-5-oxo-L-norleucine (DON), leads growth inhibition ferroptosis program activation PDAC. A CRISPR-Cas9 screen identifies an regulator, Paxip1, which promotes H3K4me3 upregulation Hmox1 transcription upon DON treatment. Additionally, ferroptosis-related repressors (e.g., Slc7a11 Gpx4) are increased as adaptive response, thereby predisposing PDAC cells deprivation. Moreover, sensitizes GPX4 inhibitor-induced ferroptosis, both vitro patient-derived xenografts (PDXs). Taken together, our findings reveal targeting dependency confers susceptibility GPX4-dependent via remodeling provides a combination strategy for therapy.

Metastases, which are the leading cause of death in patients with cancer, have metabolic vulnerabilities. Alterations metabolism fuel energy and biosynthetic needs metastases but also needed to activate cell state switches cells invasion, migration, colonization, outgrowth distant organs. Specifically, metabolites can protein kinases as well receptors they crucial substrates for posttranslational modifications on histone nonhistone proteins. Moreover, enzymes moonlighting functions by acting catalytically, mainly kinases, or noncatalytically through protein-protein interactions. Here, we summarize current knowledge signaling cancer metastasis. Effective drugs prevention treatment will an immediate impact patient survival.
