CBP inhibition alleviates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity by reducing PARP1 lactylation and myocardial apoptosis.
Why the study?
Doxorubicin use is limited by life-threatening cardiotoxicity, and the detailed molecular pathways of PARP1 activation in promoting apoptosis and myocardial injury remain unclear.

CBP exacerbates doxorubicin-induced cardiotoxicity via the PARP1 lactylation-PARylation axis, and CBP inhibition protects against cardiac dysfunction without compromising antitumour efficacy.
Doxorubicin (DOX) is a potent antineoplastic agent, but its clinical application is limited by the life‐threatening cardiotoxic effects. Poly(ADP‐ribose) polymerase 1 (PARP1) transfers ADP‐ribose groups from donor NAD + molecules onto target substrates upon oxidative stress, which may promote apoptosis and myocardial injury. The detailed molecular pathways of PARP1 activation, however, remain unclear. Here, we found that reactive oxygen species (ROS) function as signalling molecules to promote CBP‐mediated PARP1 lactylation in an ATM‐dependent manner, which induces PARP1 PARylation and ultimate cell apoptosis. We identified CBP and SIRT1 as specific lactyltransferase and delactylase of PARP1, respectively. Besides, the lactylation of PARP1 depends on the LDHA activity and lactate production. Moreover, Myocardium‐specific CBP knockout mice decrease PARP1 lactylation and prevent doxorubicin‐induced cardiac dysfunction. Our findings unravelled that excessive oxidative stress‐induced ROS accumulation activates the ATM‐CBP‐PARP1 signalling pathway via a lactylation–PARylation cascade to promote apoptosis and myocardial injury.
