Overview

Preclinical study demonstrates that mROS-driven histone lactylation promotes pulmonary vascular remodeling in hypoxic rat models, highlighting lactate manipulation as a therapeutic strategy.

Key Points

  • To elucidate how hypoxia-induced mitochondrial reactive oxygen species and subsequent glycolytic shifts drive pulmonary artery smooth muscle cell proliferation and vascular remodeling in pulmonary hypertension.
  • Investigated hypoxia-induced metabolic signaling pathways in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) using H3K18la and HIF-1α ChIP-seq analyses.
  • Assessed genetic knockdown of Pdk1 and Pdk2 along with pharmacological lactate dehydrogenase inhibition in cell culture and hypoxic pulmonary hypertension rat models.
  • Hypoxia-induced mROS inhibited HIF-1α hydroxylation to activate the HIF-1α/PDK1&PDK2/p-PDH-E1α axis, triggering lactate accumulation and H3K18la histone lactylation at growth-related target genes including Bmp5, Trpc5, and Kit.
  • Knockdown of Pdk1 and Pdk2 or pharmacological inhibition of lactate dehydrogenase diminished histone lactylation, attenuated PASMC proliferation, and ameliorated vascular remodeling in hypoxic pulmonary hypertension rats.
